All good things come in good time
On Gaura Purnima, I went out to distribute the message of Lord Chaitanya. Sankirtan was going well at the Supermercardo in Dallas until Sergeant Rock, the security guard, shooed me away. I still had some more time for sankirtan, so I tried a little of the old door-dee-door. After entering an apartment complex, I saw an open door on the second floor. I was greeted at the door by Linda who was immediately attracted to the Easy Journey...
Indians in the West should distribute the Gita
I was distributing at La Jolla Cove in San Diego when a middle-aged Indian couple stopped at my table. They said that they already had the Gita. So I offered them a TLC, which they gratefully accepted. They gave a nice donation. Then I gave the man a Gita and said, “You should be doing what I’m doing, because this is your culture. Give this to someone who will appreciate it.” I quoted the verse ‘bharata bhumite...

More gitas needed
Here is a touching story about the power of both Srila Prabhupada’s Gita and book distribution. Three days ago a Jewish neighbor, whom we have not seen for more than ten years, rang our doorbell.

Then she said she could not leave without thanking my wife, Krishna Bhakti, for the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, which my wife gave her more than ten years ago. She said that for many...
“Graveyard renunciation” after mom’s funeral: a son gets a book
I was a little apprehensive. It was near the end of my book-distribution day, and I was heading toward my car to go home, but I saw two men talking with each other in front of the Home Depot. I was slightly intimidated as they looked like two pretty together fellows, deep in conversation, and I didn’t want to interrupt them, but I thought “I have to try.” Turns out, the older man Gene, not pictured here, and Mark (pictured), are...
Relieving Lord Caitanya’s anxiety
Caitanya-caritämrta, Antya 3.50–52 [TRANSLATION, 50–51:] Lord Caitanya said, “My dear Thäkura Haridäsa, in this Age of Kali most people are bereft of Vedic culture, and therefore they are called yavanas. They are concerned only with killing cows and brahminical culture. In this way they all engage in sinful acts. How will these yavanas be delivered? To My great unhappiness, I do not see any way.” Haridäsa Thäkura replied, “My dear...
