A slow start, a shocking disturbance, and a big day
I was distributing at Balboa Park in San Diego. Well, I should say I was trying. It was tough: one book in the first hour. I decided to move to another spot, because sometimes a change in place and atmosphere brings about a positive result. After about fifteen minutes a madman came into my new sacrificial arena. He was going all around the area trying to fight people: throwing chairs, shouting, threatening. He came to my table and...
Grateful souls
I was at a super market aisle and this nice young man pass by me, I just said hello. He goes, “Where have you been man? I been looking for you “I thought he had mistaken me for some one else. He says, “No you, you gave me a Bhagavad Gita last year and I read it twice already, I want to come and chant with you guys.” I gave him a card & sure enough he came today for lunch with his wonderful girlfriend, we spoke for a while and they...
Even distributing a small book can turn into something amazing
I will share a story about the fructification of sankirtan. We never know what will happen. Even distributing a small book can turn into something amazing. Two Maori boys, cousins, showed up at the Bhakti Lounge shaved-up with sikhas and tilak. Where did they come from? Who were they? None of us knew. We found out that they had received “Chant and Be Happy” from a sister who had bought it at the New World mall in Papakura....
Driven by the mercy of Krsna a mother and daughter get the mercy on a drive
The ninety-year-old lady in the attached photo goes swimming three times a week near her house in Tel Aviv. In the few minutes that we were together in my taxi, she became captivated by the book I presented. Two days after, I drove her again, and she told me that her daughter is familiar with our books and they were discussing the topics in them. Yesterday, she called me again, asking for two more copies to give as presents. Her...
Oops, sorry!
I had just parked my sankirtan vehicle when a young man opened the passenger door of the car and started talking to me. I looked at him a little surprised. He was shocked. He had gotten into the wrong car! His wife was sitting in the car next to mine, and it looked just like my car. He apologized and explained why he had made the mistake. I showed him the Bhagavad-gita, and he happily gave a donation. There are so many ways that Lord...
Book distribution in Raleigh North Carolina
A few times a week, I take a long japa walk or japa hike. I put four or five books in my backpack and I chant, and I pray that I will be an instrument in Sri Sri Radha-Golokananda’s beautiful plan of bringing suffering souls closer to Their lotus feet. Generally, I tend to be shy, but since Covid 19, I feel a sense of urgency, and people are amazingly more receptive. So I just sit on a bench or a rock, chanting, and people show...
