One Day of Book Distribution on Melrose Avenue
Melrose Avenue is probably the most degraded Avenue in LA, but it is also the best place in LA to meet people receptive to Krsna consciousness. It was a hot June day, so I found a place in the shade. To my surprise, the store I was working in front of was called "Maya." I looked into the window and saw it was a gift store. I saw some pictures of Siva and Ganesh, and sure enough there was one of Maya Devi herself. Before...
Shop to Shop Sankirtana
Dear Vijaya Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! This last weekend Bhrgupati Prabhu and I went to the San Francisco area of California to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. The first day we went to downtown Santa Cruz. At first I was a little bit skeptical, I had never gone shop to shop before. I went into the first shop with Bhrgupati to watch how he did it. He approached the people the...
Nice End for a Heavy Day
Please accept our humble obeisances, Jaya Srila Prabhupada! On our Sri Narasimha marathon we were traveling in central and eastern Finland, in areas called Savo and Karjala. Different flavors of tamo-guna, mixed with a pinch of rajo-guna. Savo especially has a reputation for being a heavy place for distribution. One day we were in Kuopio, the main city of Savo. The fact that I needed to drive our car back and forth to the repair shop...
A Gift
This happened in Aurangabad, India . . . . Rasayatra Prabhu, one of our enthusiastic brahmacaris, loves to go out practically every day to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. It's now the hottest part of the year, and he distributes at railway stations and on trains, as these are the most crowded places because of summer vacation. One day he made announcements on a train and was showing books to everyone. He was doing quite...
Sankirtan Stories form Santa Monica College CA USA
Hare Krsna, I had an unusual day on book distribution recently. I have had plenty of dull days but this was different. I feel very grateful to Krsna. I could only stay for three hours but so much happened during that time… First a girl who started out by photographing all of the pictures in the books as I showed them to her. She loved the pictures. Then she came back later and said she wanted to read the books so she bought...
Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Mercy
Dear Vijaya Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! This recent Nrsimha Caturdasi was a very auspicious time for book distribution. I had to be back at the Los Angeles temple by one o'clock for the festival, so that morning I was begging Lord Nrsimhadeva to engage me. During japa I was begging that since I could only go out for three hours that uses me to distribute twice as many books. As soon...
