Street Chanitng
It seems that Lord caitanya Mahaprabhu is often trying to remind me of the importance of harinam sankirtan [Public chanting]. Recentely in Tokyo Audayya Prabhu {Israeli] was distributing books. He met one gentleman who had seen the chanting party in London 30 [thirty] years ago. He had a good memory and took a book. Yesterday in Bangkok we went to the park for our Sunday Kirtan.

Who’s in control? (Bh Gary – South Africa)
Hare Krsna. Please accept my humble obeiscances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and his Sincere servants. Krsna is in control and he can do what he likes. Book distribution is a very effective way to realize this. A little while ago a few devotees and myself went to the airport for sankirtan. Somehow or the other that day was just not going my way. I got caught up in organizing all sorts of things in the morning after an extremely...
Interfaith encounters and Lord Nityananda’s Mercy
Most sankirtan devotees probably feel uncomfortable when a Christian priest enters the distribution scene. Quite often they just give you trouble, but there have been quite a few occasions when they turned out to be positive and encouraging. Here are couple of very interesting stories.
