Enviromental cleansing begins from within
Giriraja Maharaja wrote a very nice Prabhupada Marathon letter to us about how preaching will help us to really know and understand Srila Prabhupada. I had an experience recently which made me remember Srila Prabhupada very much and try to remember what he would say in such a situation.

Old Srila Prabhupada Story..
Now it is the end of the marathon, and you must be exhausted. Please note that My realizations (being that I am a pujari-cook by nature) of book distribution is: you can only enthusiastically distribute the book that you personally love.

Thomas Merton distributes Prabhupada’s book…
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. It was late morning, before any of the lunch hour crowd hit the street. I stopped an older lady who was walking by herself. I asked her if she liked to read. She was friendly, but said she was not interested because she was Catholic. "My parents are also Catholic",...
