Adam finds his way
I met Adam, a young Maori man, at a small supermarket in Hamilton, New Zealand, as he got out of his van on the way to a pest control job. He immediately showed interest in the books. He told me that when he was young, instead of reading the normal Marvel style comics he would read comics from India. He mentioned Hanuman and recognized Ramacandra’s name. After Adam gave a donation and took a Science of Self Realisation, he...
Srila Prabhupada’s book save a killer
We were on traveling sankirtana in Zenica, Bosnia. There was a slaughterhouse near the house where we stayed, and in the city center were butcher shops under the same name: Zmajevac. It sounds a bit hellish. We were trying to reach the main director during sankirtana, but without success. However, one morning, by Krishna's mercy, Bhakta Denis and I decided to try again. That morning we did our best to properly chant the holy names...

Europe and America are in great danger
I read your sankirtana newsletter with great relish. Europe and America are in great danger; this Hare Krsna movement is enveloping them.

Just like during war time, a farm boy or ordinary clerk who goes to fight for his country on the front, immediately becomes a national...
Transcendental blitz book distribution
Recently, while I was in Kathmandu, there was a small Srila Prabhupada festival. Present for this festival were some devotees who were instrumental in spreading Krsna consciousness in Nepal: Mahavishnu Swami, Dadhi Bhaksa Prabhu, and Hamsagati Prabhu. They spoke about Srila Prabhupada and how Krsna consciousness spread in Nepal. Dadhi Baksa Prabhu is the only disciple of Srila Prabhupada from Nepal. So, naturally, hearing from him...
Krsna works in mysterious ways
During the 2017 Prabhupada Marathon, I was in a McDonald’s car-park in Keri Keri NZ. I approached a car with two ladies sitting inside. They happened to be sisters. They told me they had the same astrological sign. So I said, “Okay, I am just going to put this out there: Are you both Pisces?” They looked at me with disbelief and asked, “How did you know?” Well, I didn’t, but Krsna did. I said that...
