SAVED BY PRABHUPADA
In 1986 I stopped in Singapore with a devotee for a few days before attending the 500th anniversary of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s advent in Sridham Mayapur. We visited Govinda’s Boutique, a small shop that sold many items, including Srila Prabhupada’s books đź“š Walking around after visiting the boutique, we heard a big boom đź’Ą A multistory building had collapsed right around the corner. Hundreds of people were in the...
THOSE GUYS WITH THE BOOKS
I was doing sankirtan on Auckland’s Queen Street when I stopped a guy who looked vaguely familiar. Turns out we’d met four years ago, and apparently I tried to give him a book back then. “Yeah, I almost took it,” he reflected, “but I wasn’t ready for the good stuff yet.” Then he surprised me: “It’s crazy seeing you because for the past two yers I’ve been trying to find you guys on Queen Street!” I laughed.

I knew that the people who purchased Srila Prabhupada’s books from me were...
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”. In having this focus I noticed a lot of people already know about Krsna and they are very honest and glorify the Hare Krsnas. It has been very ecstatic, and a lot of...
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...
