Johnny Rotten

When I was at Terminal 4, LA Airport last Friday, doing books, saw a bright yellow tracksuited guy go in the Starbucks Coffee joint to my left; on his back he had a number '1' and the name 'ROTTEN' over the top.

On the 14th of April H.G.Eka Gauranga dasa(JPS) and myself were distributing Srila Prabhupada's books in an open parking lot area in Kansas. The area was slow in regards to traffic flow and for the most part we just walked around. There is one spot where we park and it is near two fast food eateries. When first arriving there was a notion to...
Warm Welcome for Book Distributors
Bhakta Manoj reports on his activities: For the past three fortnights, since February 1, I was ably supported by three other devotees: Amit Prabhu ( a student and a devotee at Radha-Gopinath Temple, Mumbai), Achyutanand Prabhu (Lokanath Maharaja's disciple and a householder), and Janaki Ballabh Mataji (also a disciple of Lokanath Maharaja, and the wife of Achyutanad).
