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...

Soon I stopped a father and son. The father was walking barefoot. So I used a standard line: "Are those the new air Nikes?" The response was favorable, and shortly both he and his son were holding books. He was covered in tattoos...
A humble Christian gets the Srimad Bhagavatam
It was a hot day and quite austere to distribute. ISKCON Silicon Valley’s Vijay Damodar and Lila Nandini had a strong desire to distribute a Bhagavatam set. They finally met a Spanish person in an apartment campus. They started talking and introduced the Spanish Gita. As they continued talking, they understood that the person was very spiritual, having strong faith in God. He was highly receptive to spiritual knowledge and thus...
“A Higher Taste” engages a student and then a professor
Here in Los Angeles, we have a college professor who comes to our temple on Sundays with her family. Her name is Jennifer. She was first given Srila Prabhupada’s books by devotees at Santa Monica College several years ago. Jennifer got a copy of “A Higher Taste”, and upon reading it, she was convinced of vegetarianism and offering her food to Krishna. She also suspected that it was not the first time she had been...
