Experiencing A Higher Taste
After I spent ten days fixing up my motor home for travel, I was able to go out on sankirtana at a nearby university. Just a couple of weeks before there had been a terrible shooting at a university in Virginia. I was a little nervous, thinking that the security at universities might be increased, which would make book distribution more difficult. On the contrary, everything went very well. I even met one student who has many of Srila...
where there ‘s a will, there’s a way
India has the largest railway network in the world, and devotees take advantage of it to distribute books. Lately we have boarded the Bangalore-Chennai express train to distribute Srila Prabhupada's mercy in the form of his books. I and my book distribution partner have been plying this route for weeks. The reception of the train commuters is usually nice and cordial, because they like to strike up a conversation with the devotees...

Just a couple of weeks ago there was a terrible shooting at a university in Virginia, so I was a little nervous, thinking that the security at universities would be increased, making book distribution more difficult.

“HARE KRISHNA”

So i can't really explain why yesterday i was impelled to begin walking an extra 50 meters down a small untidy Taipei lane to reach a small untidy Taipei shop, that...
Late payment
I was doing book distribution, door to door, in Paris with a nice Italian devotee, Govardhan Puja Prabhu, and when we were coming back to our center, we met a young Indian girl. She comes from Pondichéry and is doing advertising work, and she took the book "Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers" but said that she had no money. So we let her go with the book. Two days later, she came for the evening class, attracted by...
The Big Boss
I was going door to door in the Vienna bank and business district, in the late eighties, carrying a box containing a set of Srimad Bhagavatams. I would announce myself at each office, as a represenative of the local branch of the Institute for Vedic Studies. I would usually ask to see the boss without actually opening the box of books. It was a surprise for the boss only. When I arrived at a small firm, I would usually simply ask...
