Man proposes, God disposes
I was setting up my table at Pacific Beach, two blocks from the San Diego temple (how convenient!), when a man came by and asked, “Do you have the fifty-dollar stack of books? “Yes, I do.” I started piling the books up. “Okay. I’ll come back and get it a little later.” I thought that this guy was playing a game, but an hour later he came back. However, then he again said he’d be back later. I...
Where there is Krishna, there is Laxmi
March 6th, around noon — a beautiful sun mercifully threw its warm rays on us. Sweat melodious harinama enchanted the hearts of people in the downtown. I was distributing books, prasada, and invitations. About thirty meters from the harinama, I saw a middle-aged woman attentively listening and watching the harinam. With a smile I approached her and offered her kind words and prasada. “No thank you. I don’t need...
An answered prayer
I displayed a full Bhagavatam set next to my book table, and I was praying to the Bhagavatam to send someone who will take the set home. Sure enough, this American (photo attached), Bhakta Andrew, wearing a Hare Krishna hoody, walked out of the store, went straight to the set, and asked how much I wanted for it. He has read a few small books by Srila Prabhupada and some books by Radhanath Swami. Now he wants to start reading the...
Paris a God-given hope makes a woman cry
Two days ago, I saw that we had an old version of Bhagavad-gita in Arabic in the bookroom. So today I decided that I would try to distribute it. Just before leaving the temple I almost forgot it, but I finally remembered to take it. During the whole time on book distribution I had this heavy Bhagavad-gita under my arm. I decided that I would give it to someone who gives me ten dollars for a small Arabic book. Maybe after one or two...
A plea from the sankirtan devotees in Moscow
I hope all of you are well in these unusual times. These are difficult times for many people. However, the sankirtan devotees are as fired up as ever, and thus many temples are increasing book distribution. A temple in Russia just outside of Moscow is very focused on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. The problem is that they have four useless vehicles, which are dangerous to drive. Since the vehicles are unsuitable for the...
Another day in Paris
In Paris I met two Catholic priests. They were in their car, ready to leave. I told them that Jesus Christ is the best son of God and that I am distributing a book that will help them to understand Christ better. It was funny, because they were simply saying “Amen!” to whatever I was saying. “There is only one God!” -Amen! “Christ comes from Kristos!” -Amen! “Kristos comes from Krishna!”...
