Real happiness
by Madhu Mangala das I approached two young men in Durban sitting outside a table at a beach front hotel in Durban. I introduced myself to them and told them I was a traveling monk. I presented Srila Prabhupada’s books to them – they did not seem interested in taking some of Srila Prabhupada’s books (they were more interested in their beers). The one young man told me that he was alright and that he did find such...
More from Nrsimhadeva
From Jayananda das Regarding Nrsimhadeva on SKT: One time I was distributing books in Munich with Varaha Murti Prabhu, a stalwart German SKTer for many years. We were in the midst of several weeks of very successful distribution, and on this one particular day he was making an extra endeavor to distribute 100 big hard books. As evening arrived and it began to get dark, Varaha had just about reached his goal (he had distributed 96 or...

As I distributed in one of the small side streets I could suddenly hear the shouts of people. Then I saw a big crazy man running around half naked, attacking people with a big leather belt. A very unusual sight. I decided to turn into another side...
In Convent Gardens, London
by Candrasekhar Aacarya Dasa In Convent Gardens, near the Soho temple, I met a young man as he walked along with a very beautiful girl. I asked him, "Is this beautiful lady your girlfriend?" He replied modestly yet with confidence, "Yes, she is." I said, "Wow. That's great." I continued, joking, "But you know what?

Book Distribution is Chowpatti
You definitely wouldn't want to give him a second look. A tall wily fellow bearded and with unkempt hair and sullen eyes was simply gazing through me. He pushed himself nearer to me. As I pulled back defensively, his person was repelling enough as he was stinking of alcohol. His trousers had probably seen a dozen summers unwashed and his shirt was jazzily incongruent with his dreary personality. Wanting to avoid an embarrassing...
