The Higher Taste
Hare Krishna. After ten days of fixing my motor home for travel, I went out on sankirtana to a university near where I was staying. 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. On the contrary everything went very well. I met one student, who has many of Srila...
“HARE KRISHNA”
You know, i'm not a mystical type of person and i'm definately not in touch with Supersoul. I just fumble my way through my sankirtan days praying that Krsna sends someone over to take a book from me, because i'm too lazy to go out of my way to go to them.

Two days later, she came for the evening class, attracted by...

It was a surprise for the boss only. When I arrived at a small firm, I would usually simply ask...
Spontaneous Attraction
By Gauranga das It was my first day of distributing books in the long distance trains. I had gone to Mumbai Central station carrying a bag full of variety of Srila Prabhupada’s books. I took a platform ticket and entered the posh and luxurious Rajdhani Express departing to New Delhi. Since it is a centrally air-conditioned train with an expensive fare, only affluent people travel in it. But big money doesn’t always mean a...
New Living Expo Ecstasy
by Nilesh Vigela On Saturday, we had an esctatic experience at the New Living Expo. Jorge prabhu set up the book stall in such a beautiful and systematical way, that people were pouring in and keeping every one of us engaged. I remember one person who was a vegan, stopped by and asked, "Do you believe that we are a separate entity from the Lord, or are we the same as being merged within the Lord?" When we explained that we...
