Arabic Gita sold in Atlanta
I set up outside Patel Brothers, an Indian grocery store in Atlanta and prominently displayed Arabic Gitas on the book rack. I had just finished distributing books to an Indian gentleman, and we were chatting. Suddenly in the background I heard someone read aloud in a Middle Eastern accent: "Bha-ga-bad Gee ta." I looked up and saw a man staring at the Arabic Gita. I quickly excused myself from the Indian man and started...
If you’re short of time do a power hour or just ten minutes
During the community sankirtan festival in March in NZ, Krishnaloka and I were both unable to go out because of some unfinished projects. However, Caitanya Vihar's class in the morning was very inspiring. He stressed that we shouldn't be unmotivated to distribute books just because we might not be able to do many hours in one day. A power hour, or even thirty minutes is beneficial. Or perhaps just ten minutes, if you're...
Kids sankirtan and little girl enthusiasm
Recently, we had an austere day, but toward the end of it, by Sri Gauranga’s mercy, we distributedss a SB set. We first tried the Rivermart (in Santa Clara) – individual houses – for three hours, but could not distribute the SB set. Sukehswari Mataji and Vijay Damodar Prabhu were very enthusiastic and wanted to distribute at least one SB set. So we moved on to an apartment complex named Cherry Hill. We tried only one...
He got a book then became a book distributor
We set up a book table at a local college that we usually go to, only to find that a permit was required on that particular day. Thankfully, as we were setting up, a nice boy from the booth across kindly offered us his permit, since he was leaving. We gave him a couple books in exchange for his kindness. He told us that he had been searching online how to become a monk, and he gladly took the books. Then he called us yesterday, saying...
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. Apparently he had taken some books from devotees years ago and read quite a bit. He wanted to know what happened after...
