Children on book distribution
At our last sankirtana festival in Durban, a 12-year-old boy joined us. His name is Sudarshan, the son of Pisima Dasi, a single parent. He joined us at a mall. We are not allowed in malls, so we went undercover. Sudarshan was so eager to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s mercy that he distributed many Zulu books entitled Introduction to Bhagavad-gita. A student ask him why he was doing book distribution in the sweltering summer...
Inspiring exchanges
In Paraparamu, I met a young man, Ash, who told me that in 2014, his friend gave him a Bhagavad-gita. He told me he read the whole thing and started living his life according to the principles. I asked him if he meditates, and he casually responded. “Yeah, I do some mantras. I use a few, but mostly just chant Hare Krishna for thrity minutes every morning and night.” How exciting that there may be people like him out there just waiting...
A complete sankirtana-yajna
ISKCON Perth has a harinama party that has been going out every year in the city center for many years. Recently, being inspired by a senior devotee and a dedicated book distributor, I joined the harinama party for book distribution, something I had not done before. Although I had heard and read about it several times, I never personally experienced publically chanting the holy names. While shy in the beginning, I gradually started to...
Sharing the Gita
Bhagavad-gita is having an influence on a friend of mine and on my sister-in-law. I received a shipment of these books and asked Krishna to help me distribute them to those ready to receive this knowledge. So far, I distributed two Gitas. The first was to my sister-in-law, who has always been searching for this sort of knowledge. Like me, she searched high and low, only to be dissatisfied with the results of her searches. When I...
Humble instruments
As we so often hear, the marathon never ends. For rather than being an external activity, it is an internal determination to spread Krsna consciousness, by pleasing Srila Prabhupada and seeing that his transcendental books are received by all members of society. In trying to follow this mood, eager to return to the field of battlefield against the illusory energy after being fired up by a retreat and sadhu-sanga, my roommate, Meik,...
Dreams that led to book distribution and joining a temple
In the middle of the night I vividly dreamed about the Bhagavad-gita being held in someone's hand. I had never seen or heard of the book. But in the morning, I couldn't get it out of my mind. So I looked on the internet and then went to some bookstores looking for it. No luck. Then I had an urge to go to Byron Bay, an hour and a half north of where I live, which is just north of Sydney. I got a hotel room and went walking...
