I just called to say Hare Krsna 0 Srila Prabhupada ki jay!
Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I decided that I would be brave and go to the Calcutta temple and while there distribute some books. The first person I stopped on the street, was a well dressed man, I noted he had a very nicely shaved head, and how I wished my head could be shaved like that too. I introduced myself to him and asked him if he was from Calcutta. Yes he was. I asked him...
A Surprise
As usual, I was having a hard time on the main street in Hamilton, New Zealand. Being repeatedly rejected is something I can get used to, and I practice this skill on days like these. After about six hours in the same spot I was ready to call it a day, even though there was an affluent young couple approaching on an otherwise empty street. Despite all of the convincing arguments presented in my mind I decided to try stopping them with...

I very, very rarely take chinese books with me because I very rarely approach chinese people, but this time Krishna inspired me to take my only small chinese book, just in case something unusual did happen. A few hours passed and the time had come for me to stop sankirtan for the day and...
A Pious Hindu & a Christian friend
Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! Door to door in New Papatoetoe New Zealand brought me to the home of an elderly Indian fellow who was all too enthusiastic to see me. After presenting the books he quickly ran into another room and came back with 51 dollars cash and explained that this money was in the pocket of his brother's pants when he passed away some time ago. He was waiting...
Please Give me Something More
Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Carrying books while traveling helps. A few days back I was returning from the Belgaum temple when a man stopped me on the railway station. "Hare Krishna!" he bowed to touch my feet. I stopped him in mid air and smiled politely, "Hare Krishna." I had to go. "Please wait," he held my hand. "Can you give me a...
