Another soul closer to Krsna
Recenly a friend gave a Bhagavad Gita to a person named Donald. From thebeginning of his reading he liked it so much. Every day he was reading fortwo hours. He had smoked for thirty years but stopped, then he had stoppedeating meat, and he felt a sense of being purified, all from reading SrilaPrabhupada’s books. He contacted the devotees in Columbus, Ohio, and asked whether there was anyway to get more books. It was durin g the...
Determinaiton to get the mercy
I was with Zoe one Monday morning outside Lower Hutt Mall in Wellington. It was such a cold day that Zoe told me she could no longer feel her toes. It being a cold morning, I could have easily anticipated it would be a hard day to distribute books, but sankirtan doesn’t work that way. Krishna’s plan is bigger and better than the weather and day of the week. A couple of hours after being at the mall, I met Mohini, a Fijian-Indian...

He really liked the philosophy and when he saw us chanting in the park today he enthusiastically sat down with us to chant for over an hour while playing the...
From Vaisesika Prabhu on how book distributors can cope with the Corona virus
Some of our devotees wanted to go out to distribute books door-to-door yesterday, Saturday. I asked them to be extremely careful, by: Staying at least 6 feet away from people when speaking to them. Sanitizing their hands after *every* interaction. Being vigilant to not touch their faces at at any time. This group of distributors reported that, uncharacteristically, 95% of people opened their doors to speak with...
Appreciation
I was childishly complaining within my mind to Krishna: “How come the books are going out and harinams are happening, but we are not shown any Krishna magic lately?” During the last five minutes of sankirtana, a lady named Nancy, with a half-English, half-Glasgow accent watched the chanters with a pleasant smile. I approached her, and she said, “When I was a child, we saw such chanting groups in...
