Monk and parking officer
In a small mall in Campsie, South West Sydney, Australia, I spent the first half of the morning distributing to various types of people and Krsna allowed some very sweet exchanges. Then finally the security guard woke up or just clocked on and he asked me to leave. On my way out I saw this very sweet Phillipino boy exiting out the same sliding doors I was, so I hurried ahead and positioned myself away from the entrance and next to a...
Never Give Up
Hare Krishna. Please Accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 1 week to go and I leave for America. When I arrive I'll get my RV revved up for the biggest Book Distribution festival tour of my life. I can hardly wait. I have been in Perth, Western Australia now for six months.

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...
