Never a dull moment on sankirtana
For hours I was trying, and no one was stopping. I was just catching flies. I started praying to Jiva Goswami & Vamanadeva: “I know I’m unqualified & a very fallen soul, but if you so desire please give me little mercy; use me as an instrument of your compassion.” Then this fine gentleman and his son walk up to me and start telling me how much they are enjoying The Gita mp3 (made by Kamalesh Patel Prabhu of Laguna) that...
Students pondering who they are, and life & death, get Gitas
While distributing books at San Jose State University, I talked to a student who was confused. She asked, “What is my real identity?” Showing her the picture of the changing bodies in the Gita, I explained her identity as a spiritual being, now covered by layers of gross and subtle bodies. It was big news for her to hear this knowledge. She was happy and said that no one had ever told her about this. She took a few books...
Flip a coin, call it right, and I’ll take your books!

Krishna is my Lord and Master.” I asked him, “Which one of these books did you read to come to that conclusion?” He pointed to the “Journey of Self Discovery” and said, “That book changed...
The day a college overflowed with Krsna consciousness
I was distributing at Orange Coast College near Los Angeles with my friend from India, Dhira Lalita Prabhu. Dhira Lalita set up a table, and I walked around. He met a student who fell in love with Srila Prabhupada’s books and stayed at the table all day. We decided to go back there a week later. Before we got to the campus, Dhira called our friend to let him know we were coming. He met us, helped us set up, and even distributed...
Start studying the Gita!
Upon being asking whether he had the Gita, a boy replied, “No. I don’t.” I replied, “Then please start studying the Gita from this very day.” “But why the Gita? And why are you distributing the Gita?” I answered, “Once you study it, you will know why. The topmost instructions to practice a happy, devotional life are in the Gita. And I am not distributing the Gita. It’s the mercy of Srila Prabhupada on...
