Book Distribution is taxies and What will this book teach me?
Devotees undergoing Brahmacari training in Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Mandir, Chowpatty, do book distribution five days in a week. To catch the local train from Grant Road station they take a cab from the temple and also return by cab. The journey is short and the fare is minimal, and traveling by cab saves energy, which enables them to distribute for a longer time. During the short journey sometimes wonderful events take place.

Where there is will there is way
The ever-young Abhinandan Prabhu is undoubtedly the most fired-up book distributor of Sri Sri Radha-Gopinath Mandir's congregation. Even the difficulties that come with the advanced age of sixty-five, including a host of infirmities like diabetes, BP, loss of hearing, and the after-effects of fourteen operations, have been unable to stop him. He is just back from distributing books in super-austere conditions at the Dindi in...

I knocked on the gate and one dirty "Yamaduta" opened it and asked me what I wanted. I showed him books, and he quickly said that he is not interested in reading and especialy...
Have you been saved?
Once I was busy distributing books in Croydon, south of London. Another devotee was on the other side of the street. It was quite tough out there because the pavement was narrow and people could easily see us giving out books, so they were avoiding us like the plague. Suddenly I heard a woman's voice bellowing out to me, 'Hey boy, have you been saved?' A fat black mama was right in my face with an intent look. Since I have...
Caitanyananda in Vrindavan
A few months ago I helped cremate the body of my friend Radha-Kunda Dasa down at the Yamuna River. Yesterday I visited a great book distribution hero from Finland named Caitanyananda Dasa. He told me they've given him about another week to live. To some he may look emaciated, and even scary, with a soft-ball-sized tumor in one armpit and his body skeletal due to his digestive system's shutting down. He told me he's having...
