Irish Anecdote
Distributing books on the streets of Dublin, I went back to my box of books to get another Bhagavad Gita and overheard a lady say jokingly to Mayesvara Prabhu, my sankirtan partner, "If I buy this book, my husband will kill me." Then I poked my head into their conversation and said to her, "But he can't kill you; you're eternal." I went on distributing, and a few minutes later Mayesvara came up to me and...
I Am From Hell
by Omkara Dasa Last weekend Bhrigupati, Prema Sankirtana, Dvarakesh Prabhus, and I traveled up north to Santa Rosa, California for a three-day music festival. When we arrived at the Harmony Festival, I saw one person that was covered with a lot of tatoos; including an insignia of devil worship, an upside-down pentagram, and piercings, etc. I called him over and introduced myself and asked him where he was from.

I went to a lady, who took two...
Sankirtan Goldmine

The theme was that they felt they were having a hard time finding places to do book distribution. In this regard, I would like to share some experiene I have had. You would never think of these spots, because they are right under our nose. We have had a lot of luck working in the...
Srila Prabhupada’s revolutionary plans
Your book distribution report is very encouraging. If I see our leaders are enthusiastic, that gives me more enthusiasm. Your suggestion to get new buses is good. I always recommended that. I don't like old vehicles. I think one hundred buses are not sufficient for America. You propose to induce the American people to surrender to Lord Caitanya by expansion of book distribution, that is wanted. When you come to that, that is...
