Parents perform their real duty by giving a set to their son
Since meeting me at my book table three months ago, Bhakta Omkar finished reading five of Prabhupada’s books. Omkar chants japa daily. On the occasion of his mother’s birthday he requested his parents to get him a set of Srimad Bhagavatams. His father was worried about Omkar’s grades in school if he buys him this eighteen-volume set. I assured his father that his son will do a hundred times better in school and life in general if he...
Ken wanted something positive
Met Ken amid Sydney’s routine Friday night hustle & bustle. Book distribution was going in good swing. Ken was intrigued with the books in my hand. However, he didn’t appear very impressed with my talk. So I thought, “I will let Prabhupad talk to him.” And requested him to read a page each of Introductions from the Science of Self Realisation and Hiding in Unnatural Happiness. He started to melt a little....
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.

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. A nice young engineer approached our book table with many questions. 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...
