“Wwwait a minute!” and “Wicked!”
My initial thought when I looked at Kevin Chung was: “He is rushing away after a haircut on a busy street and will never take a book.” I stopped him anyway. “Wwwait a minute!” he said. “Are these writings in Sanskrit?” He started reading the Sanskrit letters and talking about how Vedic civilisation had sonic technology and could predict gene formations. Blew my mind with his knowledge. Gave a good...
Knowledge of the Gita was part of a job interview
I met Mathew, a wonderful Christian gentleman from South India. He’s taught philosophy in universities around the world, and he loves the Vedas. He said that one of his close friend’s son, who is very intelligent and highly educated, was invited for a job interview in Germany. The young man flew from South India to Germany and was being interviewed by the CEO and a couple of senior staff of an IT company. The CEO told the...

Your servant, Krsna Bhagavan...
With a super-interest, a lady gets suitable books

She loves Indian food, so she had come to buy Indian spices for the first time, to start cooking. So I offered her a large cookbook as a...
A flash from the past
Mayapur-sasi Prabhu recently put online (in his international book distribution newsletter) a PDF of the old newsletters from the nineteen-seventies and early eighties. Reading them and the scores was pretty interesting, a flash from the past. Especially I liked this one: NEWS FLASH! This weekend, the South American GBC, Hrdayananda Dasa Goswami, flew into Washington D.C., put down his danda, took off his saffron robes, and put on...
Instrumental at Brooklyn College
I was at Brooklyn College, on a street outside the campus, where I met many nice people. Toward the end I only had a Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam left. I approached a Chinese girl (they are often not so open), and she was very genuine. She didn’t have money, but had just received a bunch of fruit from a food bank and offered some of it to me. I took some fruit, and she had many questions, so I was answering them and then...
