Brihat Mrdanga
"It is certainly not good to write literature for money or reputation, but to write books and publish them for the enlightenment of the general populace is real service to the Lord. That was Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati's opinion, and he specifically told his disciples to write books. He actually preferred to publish books rather than establish temples. Temple construction is meant for the general populace and neophyte devotees,...
The Book Distribution adventure,by Aisvarya das
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...

Pleasantly Surprised, by Vijaya Prabhu
I was standing on the sidewalk looking for a fortunate soul to receive the mercy when a man came up from behind me and asked if I knew where he could purchase the Bhagavad Gita I had in my hand. I was a pleasantly surprised since it's usually us approaching them. So I told him that today was his lucky day since he could get one right here from me. Then HE was pleasantly surprised since he thought I was the owner of the book, he...
Aisvarya and the Monks
Krsna's working in everyone's heart, including, dare I say it; Buddhist monks. Actually, these days Buddhism is so watered down that many of its adherents believe in God. Needless to say in their minds God is Buddha… and by a funny twist of fate they're right. I keep getting this mental snapshot of showing a Bhagavad-Gita to a Tibetan Buddhist Monk.
