Work in the Office like, the Battle of Kuruksetra
written by Braja Bihari, Chowpatti India. This is the story of one man who bought Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita in the year 1980 and placed it on his book shelf. Time passed quietly but surely the 'bomb' was ticking and waiting to explode. Many books, newspapers, and magazines were dumped away annually during the Diwali maha-cleaning but somehow the Bhagavad Gita stayed. Once a year, this gentleman religiously removed...
More Mercy from Lord Nrsimhadeva
by Manidhara das It was sometime in the year 1979. The city was Freiburg, South Germany. It has several small shopping streets connected with small water channels at the sides of the city. 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.

But there was one village where the leaders would not give us a place to stay. This was a big cause of anxiety.
