Ukraine catatrophy

Hare Krsna, Usually, I send only texts about book distribution, but this is an emergency. Ukraine is a poor country. I’ve witnessed this while visiting it many times. Lots of the devotees don’t even have cars. Some do, so they drive out of the country. Some are walking in the cold with only the clothes on their backs. Some are staying in temples that have no electricity, and it’s as cold inside as it is outside. They...

A meeting at the ocean leads to distributing a set

Mahotsaha Prabhu and the sankirtan devotees of Atlanta went down south to Fort Lauderdale, FLorida, for a break after the month-long Prabhupada Marathon in Atlanta.

Mahotsaha asked him, “Where do you know the Hare Krsna mantra from?”...

A Sri Vaisnava Priest takes two sets

This evening after kirtan and the Gita reading, this wonderful Sri Vaisnava head priest of Atlanta’s Hindu temple agreed to take home sets of Sri Caitanya Caritamrita and Srimad Bhagavatham. I felt the blessings of our entire Sri and Gaudiya acaryas. Usually when we are distributing a Bhagavatham or Caitanya set, the recipient has very little idea what they are receiving, but in this case the priest, being so pious and humble,...

My first BTG

My first BTG

I had just finished Methodist Christian Elementary School, and I was more than ready to try to fit in at a non-religious Middle School. At the dentist there was a BTG magazine in the waiting room. When I saw the picture of Chaitanya in the upper left corner with his hands raised and all of the people joyfully responding to Him, I was struck with guilt for having left Jesus behind in the elementary school. At the same time I was in awe...

New record and more!

I received a very recent report about the Prabhupada Marathon from Mahotsaha Prabhu. He broke his own record by distributing over 1,500 books in one day. While in Tampa, within minutes he distributed two sets to Srimad Bhagavatam sets to people who knew nothing about Krsna consciousness before getting the sets. Some time later he approached a man and he said, “I’m an atheist. I’m not interested.” Mahotsaha...
