Hari Hari

I was distributing Bhagavad Gita's at a Phish concert in Hartford Conneticut (pretty wild scene, everyone is intoxicated except for the devotees and the fly's, actually the devotees were also intoxicated but of a different type, the mercy of Gaura Nitai). At the end of the day a few devotees and myself were standing around the van on our way to leave when a ticket scalper walked by some distance away and shouted," ANYONE...

Always have Bhagavad Gita on you

I never thought I could distribute books. I know I love Krishna, but I just can't see myself persuading people about the philosophy and getting them to accept a book and appreciate it.

Srila Prabhupada Touches People’s Hearts

Once I was collecting in a very small sheep farming town Western Australia. I knocked on the door of a run down small country style house and a very fragile bodied old lady answered the door. It was quite clear that she was living on her own and looking after herself in the last years of her life. Normally, in that situation, people aren’t used to strangers coming to the door in a small town so it struck me that she immediately...
