New Mayapur, a book distribution and farm community needs help
Dear devotees Jaya Srila Prabhupada I want to bring to your attention a campaign that has just been launched over the last few days to help maintain the New Mayapur community in France that has now reached a precarious situation. In this video the devotees nicely explain the situation and here is the link to the Go Fund Me campaign where you can see an overwhelming support coming in from many devotees around the world.

The Hare Krsna movie and Prabhupadas books make a devotee
Through divine providence, in the autumn of 2020, a man named John Griesser sent me a message on Facebook asking me to be friends because of our common interests. I accepted and then received an invitation to view the trailer for his new film, Hare Krishna! He mentioned that he and his wife directed the film and if I enjoyed the trailer, that I watch the full-length film on Amazon Prime. A few days passed before I actually saw the...
Waking up a sleeping soul — how tough is that?
I was doing a book table in the Hamilton CBD, and a drunk and homeless guy walks up and says, “Do you know Jesus Christ?” As all book distributors know, this is the beginning of a tough time.

She’s met book distributors once before and was hoping to meet us somewhere again....
Krishna will dump out your poison
Paramesvara Prabhu and I stopped to get gas after a nice day of distributing books. It was a bit cold and windy, and sometimes, with my fallen nature, I become forgetful about Krishna’s position, leading me to become irritated or disturbed after a day in the cold, especially when the wind blows books off the table. A homeless man sitting in front of the gas station waddled his way over to the van, begging for money. Seeing the beer in...
Sankirtana Dynamics
About a week ago, at the end of the day, in a Manukau car park in Auckland I met a guy who looked a little like a criminal, so I wasn’t too sure whether I should stop him. But after I approached him and we had a chat, he told me that he’s read Bhagavad Gita. I sold him a little stack with SB 1.1, and he gave a nice donation. The next day I wanted to try to sell a SB set, and I took the set with me on the footpath of the...
