Krishna is the master of Timing
Last week we were on travelling sankirtana in middle Finland. Muniraja Prabhu and I visited a small town, Saarijarvi, known for its yoga school. We did not meet many yogis, there but we were engaging in the supreme yoga by distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. After the break I was not feeling very sharp. Some books went out, but I was not really concentrating on the service. I was in a big parking lot. Suddenly I saw someone...
Book Distribution in Moscow
Cell Phone Blues Every sankirtan dreads a cell-phone call to the person he's talking to. We've all experienced it: 99% of the time, the chance of the person getting a book is over. But not for Acala Prabhu. While in Moscow, I heard from Acala about a nice experience he'd had the day before while on sankirtan. "I was distributing a book to someone and his cell-phone rang. He answered it and was talking for a minute or...

This summer we decided to flood the northern parts of Finland with Srila Prabhupada's books and Krishna's prasadam. The opportunity...
Book Distribution Nectar

Typically we give out a set of books on credit and then the company deducts the amount from the salary and sends us the money. But here things were difficult. Although every one we met was favorable, they expressed...
Power of Books
In Aurangabad, India, we mainly do door-to-door or shop-to-shop book distribution in the afternoon, and in the homes we mostly meet housewives, as the husbands are out working. Many times I wonder: Are the people reading our books or not? Are their lives changing or not? One day, I got my answer. A call came one afternoon from an elderly housewife asking for a Marathi Srimad Bhagavatam. It was the month of Shravan, when many people...
Working hard to push on this movement
Even more important than the knowledge of Krishna is the acting upon that knowledge, or devotional service. By the acting he realizes his knowledge and becomes complete. So I am very much encouraged that all you young boys and girls are working so hard to please Krishna, and even I cannot give you any nice thing, still, because you have got some love for Krishna and your Spiritual Master, therefore you have given up everything for...
