Chaitanya Charitamrita sets sold on the streets of Santa Cruz
Devotees wanted to try something different for the marathon, so they took the Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta set to the street! Pretty striking, right? Lord Chaitanya’s mercy is also like that. We displayed just one volume on the table. A person who recently was exposed to the path of spirituality through the book Autobiography of a Yogi, told us that he had heard a little about chanting. We showed him the display book and told him how...
Some highlights at the Woodford Festival in Oz
While at my table, I saw two policemen looking at my Changing Bodies display. I motioned to them to come over. As I was showing them the Gita’s illustrations, one stopped me when I got to the illustration of the man with the cow’s head and the cow with the man’s head. He read the caption below the illustration and said, “That’s why I’m vegan.” I said, “You’re the first policeman...
Santa Cruz, California: book distribution downtown
Last Sunday, Dec. 17th, my father and I had the opportunity to join Madhava Govinda Prabhu on book distribution in downtown Santa Cruz. While Madhava Govinda Prabhu always started the talk with the people we met, he would always let me explain about the SSR. In this way we made a good team. Here in Santa Cruz, it was not easy to stop people like in the Friday harinams. But Madhava Govinda Prabhu did it quite easily. * * * * * *...
A blissful exchange
As I was chanting my rounds in the metro, somewhat disheartened because I wasn't able to preach to anyone (they were all into phones & magazines), a man around 40, wearing fashionable cloths – yet quite worn out and dirty after a more careful look – entered the train with many bags in his hands. I concluded that he was yet another homeless (there are more and more of them lately) and perceived his sad, bitter...
Benefitting from the devotees’ mercy
In Stratford, I met Sandy, a Westpac Bank worker from New Zealand, who told me that she has most of these books and LOVES reading them. She said that every time a devotee comes through, she buys another book. “These are not books you just read once and move on,” she said. “I read them through fully, then after a few months I re-visit them and start reading them over again.” She was so inspired, and she really takes shelter of...
Distribution in Scotland
My dad was telling me that he was a bit tired after a hard day at work and was not feeling up for going on books tonight. (For context, my dad has being doing sankirtana for over 25 years and is 63 now.) At the last minute, before getting his bus home, he changed his mind and jumped on a bus to another village. He went out for his usual hour and half and distributed five big books and fifteen small books. Just imagine if he had been...
