Shocked then Shocked Again

We continue the pastimes of the bus party of Sri Sri Radha Gopinath temple chowpatty that went to the coal mines last year. We shifted operations to a new area. After a couple of days of good book distribution we decided to try the head-office. Jagganatha Prabhu met the head officer and obtained the permission and the next day we set up stall besides the vehicle parking inside the gate. It was 8 am and slowly the officers were...

The Mind is the Problem

As I was distributing books at Orange Coast College in Los Angeles a man came up to my table and asked about the books on display. He was a Muslim, and so he said to me, "My family would be very upset if I were to accept these books." I said, "God is more important than your family. Bhagavad Gita means the song of God. It tells us how to know Him and love Him." We talked a little longer. A very nice man, he then...

A Professor

I met a lady who's been a professor of the Bhagavad Gita for 30 years, so she got into telling me, "Oh, I love Bhagavad Gita. I read it every day, etc. I asked her whose translation she had. "Oh, I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's up to each person to feel the words and that's the right meaning for you." She spoke like this for a couple of minutes. Eventually I showed a sour face and said,...

What a Scene

Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. As I was speaking to someone in the airport, a man came up to me who was so nasty cussing and criticizing that the person I was speaking to left. Then the nasty man got even worse. He was so loud that everyone in the airport lobby, whether at the ticket counter, the gift shop, or the restaurant, turned their head to look. He had a real foul mouth,...
