Foremost Enemy
By Yogindra Dasa I had an unusual experience once while distributing hard back Bhagavatams on the street outside a post office in a small town in Sweden. A lady with a mentally- challenged daughter passed by, and the little girl grabbed the book I had tried to distribute to her mother. The girl adamantly refused to return the book to me, inspite of her mother’s repeated attempts. The mother had little choice but to ask me the...
My Husband Will Probably Kill Me
by Vijaya Dasa While I was recently distributing books on the streets of Dublin, I walked back to my box of books to get another Bhagavad-gita and I overheard a lady say jokingly to my sankirtan partner, Mayesvara Prabhu, "If I were to buy this book my husband would probably kill me!"

"I AM FROM...
Don’t judge a book by the cover

Often the looks speak about the person – intelligent, intellectual, worried, spaced out, jolly,...
Sankirtana stories from Finland
I was distributing in one shopping center in the Eastern parts of Helsinki. It was tough and later I realized it was like that because I was trying to use different tricks while distributing, not really surrendering to Krsna. I had a break and was listening to a class by Bhurijana Prabhu. It was an excellent, inspiring class, which made me understand Krsna consciousness is truly the perfection of life.
