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...
Front Line Preaching
The weather is hot: 130F and 140F in my truck… danger at every step… I was out walking, to check out and refill my book rack and drop off some prasadam sent from some wonderful devotees, when all of a sudden explosions were heard. At first I thought it was nothing but it got louder and closer… we were under a mortar attack. Quickly I ran into the closest bunker. As I got in, I noticed there were some soldiers there....
Let’s make new devotees
I was thinking how wonderful it is that a sinful man like me can be used in the preaching mission of Srila Prabhupada. Krsna Smaranam Prabhu told me: "I wonder where I get the shakti to tell to the people just the right thing while I distribute books." Many of you must have the same experience. While visiting Padaytra in Czech, Vijaya Prabhu gave a Srimad-Bhagavatam lecture. The purport mentions that a kanistha adhikari...
Small Sankirtan Story
Dear Sankirtan Devotees! Pamho, agt SP! I was distributing Srila Prabhupada's books on a parking lot of supermarket in Brno. I approached an old man who went to shop there. When I approached him and showed him the books. He took them into his hands and proudly stated: "Yes, I am a member of the Hare Krsna movement." I was surprised to hear this so I inquired more. He told me: "I visited your farm in Czech many many...
Sankirtana in “Sweet Home Alabama”
I was distributing books in Birmingham, Alabama. A group of men walked by with drinks in their hands. I showed them a "Chant and Be Happy'. They laughed and ignored me. They went into a restaurant and I continued my sankirtan with a discouraged attitude. There was hardly anyone in the street. I started to think that I better go home and do some reading. After 30 minutes, the same group came out of the restaurant, and I again...
