From Holland
I was distributing in Dordrecht not far from the Rotterdam temple. I was in devotional dress. I had quite a hard start. After 2 hours I decided to take a break for lunch. Because in the temple there was no Prasadam practical for transport, I decided to buy nuts and dried fruits in a local Albert Heijn supermarket. While I was choosing valid bhoga for the Supreme Lord, somebody tapped on my shoulder. It was a middle-aged gentleman,...

The distribution would increase so far – to all the little roadside gas...

Before I approached the elderly lady selling the cherries, I grabbed a small Bhagavad-gita and The Perfection of Yoga. After buying the cherries, I showed her the Bhagavad-gita and gave a brief explanation, while she listened very patiently. As I was...
