Excerpt from an interview with His Grace HG Vaisesika Prabhu
Excerpt from an interview with His Grace Vaisesika Prabhu, on 11-14-2002 in Vrindavan Dhama: Question: How do we overcome the inhibitions about getting out there to distribute the books? Answer: Okay; here's the trick. The inhibition comes from your mind. The mind accepts and rejects. When we are in material life, the mind accepts and rejects based on what it thinks will bring the highest bodily pleasure. So your mind may tell you...
Aisvarya and Mahatma doing office to office
Mahatma Prabhu and I have also been known to like an adventure or two. One of our hobbies was to confuse bored bank security guards. Our tactic was to walk in the door of a bank in formation and then split; one of us making a B-line for the bank tellers and the other shooting for the stairs leading to the offices. The sight of two westerners with flowing robes cruising through the doors and fanning out when inside would sometimes...

Then HE was pleasantly surprised since he thought I was the owner of the book, he...
Aisvarya and the Monks

We were both shaved-up, standing at the edge of a parking lot; he in...
Letter by Manidhara Prabhu
Dear Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Before the marathon, I asked His Grace Manidhara Prabhu about wearing Tilak during book distribution. He gave me permission to post his reply, which is as follows: Question: Did you wear Tilak when you did book distribution with Rohinisuta Prabhu in the seventies? I am asking because several times Srila Prabhupada states that the devotees may wear...
Hare Krsna
Dear Vaisesika prabhu & Sarvatma prabhu, I read both your comments and thought they were good points. But, as both of you have distributed books with tilak and sikha showing and not showing I also have, and personally I can say my consciousness was much better with tilak and Sikha showing. I even have found that I distriute more books with tilak. This last summer I was distributing in Boston, all the seasoned book distributers...
