1) Sankirtana Nectar in the Army Mitravinda devi dasi After months of healing in the physical therapy unit, several of us were sent back down to Basic Combat Training to finish the requirements of graduation. I remember training from the first time around and decided I would have no time for preaching. There is no storage for Srila Prabhupada's books in the barracks.

I met a young man from Canada while I was distributing in Covent Garden. He was smiling at me from a distance, and I smiled back. When he got closer, I told him that I am a monk distributing books on yoga meditation. He began to laugh, because it turned out that the previous night he had dreamed he was involved in a procession with monks, who were playing hand cymbals and waving incense. I did not need to tell him anything more about...
