Airport Book Distribution in South Africa
Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. While distributing books at the Durban international airport, I approached a gentleman and introduced myself to him.

He just wanted to lose some weight by eating a vegetarian diet for awhile. He loved his meat and had to have it — five hamburgers at a time — but just for a short time, to lose weight, he wanted to eat only a vegetarian...
