Nagendra’s destiny catches up with him

Today in Manchester, Nagendra dashed past me as I attempted to stop him. He did however capture a momentary glimpse of our “Veda” book and seconds later he returned to find out more. I spoke about “Veda” and also introduced him to the Bhagavad Gita. He then revealed that a couple of years ago someone in the City Centre stood in the exact same spot as me, tried to give him a Bhagavad Gita, and he said he would...

University researcher finds the books and takes a huge interest

I was distributing books in Balboa Park in San Diego, California, on a typical, busy weekend day, when, toward the end of the day, I met a very nice lady. I was talking to one couple about the books, and right after they left, she suddenly approached me with an interest in seeing what the books are about. She told me that her name is Blodwyn and that she’s doing research on environmental studies at the University of Redlands and also...

Then I noticed something amazing: a Nrsingha kavaca around his neck! I pointed at it and asked what it was – he didn’t have an answer. Then I showed him...

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...
