Book Distribution in Paris
All morning busy with meetings in the temple and the usual occupational activities. Started book distribution around 5 in the evening and it was a tough evening trying to distribute books in Paris. Now we are on the train heading back to the temple. Quite often we go up and down the train trying to sell books or doing Kirtan. Maybe there is still a chance of some books going out before the day is out. “Non merci, non argent, no...
The magic of Sankirtan
I was distributing books on Queen street, Auckland’s main CBD shopping street for a short time before driving to Hamilton another city outside of Auckland. There is many places that a book distributor or street collector could stand and I choose a strip which would be handy for my husband to pull up and pick me up. Although there was another girl at this spot distributing flyers for ‘Uber eats’ I didn’t fancy moving as it also seemed...
From the early days in Germany
Being absorbed in book distribution, we were hesitant to return to the temple, even for weekends. To stay out on Sunday provided a special challenge, as even today Sunday is a day where hardly any shops are open.

Farsi book goes out effortlessly in Perth
We were having our weekly Perth harinama. An onlooker was video-recording this on his phone, so I approached him and showed him some books. He looked and said, “I am a Muslim.

You’re a beggar, you’re nothing but a beggar
Yesterday someone walked past me and said, “You’re a beggar, you’re nothing but a beggar”. He then walked off. His comment was said with malice yet I knew he was sent by Caitanya Mahaprabhu to remind me that yes I am a beggar, a beggar begging for the mercy and love of God. I also realized that as a book distributor I’m on the streets begging myself and others to awaken our spiritual identity in order to be able to relate to each...
Meet Jim and John
Meet Jim (left) and John (right). Yesterday, in Coventry, UK, as I was speaking to someone, John came over and started to look at the Veda on top of my trolley. As I finished speaking to the person, I approached John and he asked me what the books were about. I had quite literally only just started to brief him, and in an instant, he took a note out of his wallet and placed it in my hand and walked off with the book. I was...
