The ecstacy of distributing Krsna Book

My focus has been on distributing Krsna books. This is to prove that distributing these books does not impede ones ability to distribute a lot of books as I have noted devotees can be hesitant to distribute Krsna books as they think it may be “too direct”.

THE FIRE OF PURIFICATION

A boy approached our book table and listened attentively about the Bhagavad-gita, then gave a $10 donation. He told us how wildfires had swept through his community of Palos Verdes, destroying most homes, though his parents’ house was spared. He felt very sad because his high school had burned to ashes. It was his senior year there, and his eyes watered as he spoke. The boy didn’t have words to describe what he’d...

FROM BUDDHA TO KRSNA

While visiting Milan, Italy, I met a devotee who had previously been a Buddhist monk. When I asked him how he became a Vaisnava, he said he once had a teacher who taught Shaolin Kung Fu. He would come to the Buddhist monastery to teach the monks. “One day when he came he was singing. He had brought a harmonium and was singing very beautifully. When I later asked him what he was singing, he said he was singing the Damodarastakam....
