Cultivations
Last week we were on our way to a small town called Anjalankoski, where there lives a nice man, a multi-engaged psychiatrist, youth leader, idealist, animal-rights activist, named Mr.Lehto. Two years ago he gave the largest donation I have ever received from one person. He took some 30 packets of prasadam, 2 books and 5 CDs, and gave 140 euros. He also attended our program two years ago. That program was externally small, with simple...

Book Distribution Nectar
When Angry Cops Call We had a heavy day at the Boriwili train station. At 11:30 p.m., when the passenger traffic trickled down, we finally decided to wind up. Exhausted and bleary-eyed, we packed all the books in boxes, counted them and sealed them with tape.
