Good results while getting out on book distribution while I can
I am currently working in Carterton, in the Wairarapa, about an eighty-minute drive from Wellington. The sankirtan here is great, and I have been trying to get out when I can. Yesterday, I finished work early (that rarely happens!) and took the opportunity to distribute books in a local supermarket car park. As usual, Lord Caitanya was very merciful and encouraging. Here are a few highlights. I met a young Maori girl who had come to...
Lakshmi-devi ‘s late arrival
It was as though Sri Lakshmi-devi had deserted Sydney. I roamed around the city for hours, talking, and all I was getting were empty wallets flipped at me. No money. But just because of the decency and etiquette of people, I was giving some books away free. Then someone tapped my shoulder from behind. It was Patrick.

He quickly grabbed a “Hiding in Unnatural Happiness” and went into a dentist's office. Then the man watching me got out of the car and talked...
Hell Froze Over : It’s Called Canada
It was sunny, but windy and cold, below freezing. And people were reluctant to stop. I collected a large number of rejections fairly quickly, and the mind was telling me to pack it up. “You’ve touched the pavement, you’ve collected rejections, so fine, done, let’s go now,” the mind said. But I said, “OK, let’s wait till we get one person who doesn’t reject then.” Pete looked at me as he...
Three sets!
We went to a house and were greeted by a family from north India. They invited us in. With the open-minded couple, we talked about their professional lives, kids, and women’s empowerment and connected all of that with the Bhagavatam. The lady was genuine, and they took a set. People are looking for deeper experiences and connections in life, despite having high paying jobs, big homes and all facilities. Our next knock was on the...
