THE OFFENSE, THE REMEDY, AND THE REMINDER
I went to one factory in Russia to distribute books. On meeting the secretary I asked to see the director. She went to tell the director that someone wanted to meet him. When he came out and saw me, he asked if I was a Hare Krsna. I said, “Yes, I am.” He then said to the secretary, “Don’t let him go, I’m going to call the police. These people should be crushed like cockroaches.” I quietly slipped...
THE MIRACLE OF SRILA PRABHUPADA’S BOOKS
One year ago, a young girl named Kavita Kukde met me. She looked troubled, lost, and full of doubts about life, and even about the existence of God. As we spoke, I felt inspired to give her a copy of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita, told her how powerful this book is, and encouraged her to read it with faith. That was all. I never expected to see her again. But on 6 March 2025, after one whole year, we met again. And when I saw her,...
OUR VICTORIOUS HARINAMA
Our New Dwaraka Harinama party has become more adventurous. We are on the pavement on big mats in downtown Culver City with harmonium and karatals in a new upscale amusement and shopping plaza. Just last night our three-year- old participant, Caitanya, gave pamphlets to two young boys. They were amused but their father said to give the pamphlets back. The older boy insisted they were going to keep them. The father looked frustrated....
A pleasnat surprise and then another one
In Napier this past December, I was remembering Olli; a young man we had come across here a couple years ago during the same Srila Prabhupada marathon. At that time, he purchased a Srimad-Bhagavatam set from my then sankirtan partner (Yashodara) on the main street and spent a few evenings with us discussing KC, taking prasad and appreciating the treasure of Krsna Bhakti. We had originally met a couple years prior to that when...
THIS IS PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE!
I was distributing Bhagavad Gitas to motels in Whangarei. I entered one reception and there was a smart looking Chinese lady behind the counter. I showed her the Bhagavad Gita and told her we were showing them to all the hotels and motels in the area. She was very interested and said she wanted to know more about the book, so I opened the Gita and showed her the picture of the soul changing bodies. She followed her finger along the...
Bhagavad-gita as it isn’t
I’m visiting the relatively new Rohini temple in New Delhi, and I asked Sukha Priya Dasa, the temple commander, how he joined. While in college, he had to write a paper on the Bhagavad-gita. So he read two versions — by Dr Radhakrishnan and Gandhi – and because of reading them, he became an atheist. Then he started working in France and Germany as an engineer. He met another worker who followed the...
