A beautiful cul

Queen Street is one of New Zealand’s busiest streets. On one of the not so busiest of days, around an hour in, I spotted a young adult who seemed like a death-metal fan. She had pink hair, dark makeup, tattooed arms and legs, and piercings all over her face. Usually I would not try to stop a person like that, because in the past all I have received back were four-letter words and middle fingers. So with no hope of stopping her,...

At Pierce College (Los Angeles). meeting the President

I went to Pierce College with Brghupati Prabhu. Some twenty thousands students attend this two-year college. A nicely dressed gentleman was exiting a building. I asked him whether he is a professor. He said “I’m the president of the college.” I gave him a Journey of Self Discovery and asked his name. “Lawrence Buckley.” He saw our book table and looked with amazement and appreciation at the Bhagavad Gita. “Is that...

From confusion to Srimad Bhagavatam

After receiving a super inspiring, mercy-filled email from His Holiness Giriraj Swami, encouraging book distribution, we went out on books to cash in on the mercy.

He asked, “I’m confused in life, even though I’m very successful materially, so please recommend a book that will help me.” I said, “Any of these books will help. I especially recommend...

Special soul

I was distributing books with my godbrothers Shastra-Krit and Khela Tirtha on Lincoln Road (West Auckland) in January, 2017. Nathanial, a boy, only fourteen years old (his mother is from Tonga and his father is from Croatia), started talking with us. Because of his age, I hesitated to distribute a book to him, but he was really enthusiastic and happy to see us. And when I presented the Bhagavad-gita, he was more than happy to donate...

A super favorable scientist from China

It was a little quiet at my book table, so I was reading a verse from the Gita for inspiration. And then I hear someone saying, “Haribol! Haribol!“ I looked up. It was this super-favourable scientist and gentleman named Leo, from China. He met devotees 25 years ago in Shanghai and became a vegetarian. Devotees left a great impression on him. He gave a nice donation and took a Gita and a couple of Chinese books and an invitation to our...

Professors help with book distribution

At a university in Los Angeles, a student with a walker came straight away to my book table and declared, “I know the Bhagavad-gita, and let me tell you this is not a book of rainbows and fairy tales. Arjuna wanted to save the bodies of his family members. He did not know that Krishna would teach him the real truth: that no one can kill the soul. So Arjuna fought his best. No one should think that this is a sentimental book to...
