Haribol prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Here is a little story from our book distribution efforts so far this month.

The Glorious Cell Phones

I stopped two young Chinese ladies which is something I usually do not do. We were having a good exchange but still they didn't seem so interested in the books. Then all of a sudden the cell-phone of one of them rang. She answers and goes a little distance from us. In my mind I was thinking: "That's it! My sale is finished now." But still I struggled to maintain a conversation with the one that was not on the phone....
