Book distribution is happening again in France
France, in the 1980s, was sometimes the No. 1 country in the world. Now something is again happening in France.

Helping the Red Cross volunteer
Just last week, some Red Cross volunteers came to our neighborhood in Perth. They were going door to door, raising awareness among people that thousands of Australian school kids were not getting proper food, and hunger would force many of them to take to crime. I agreed that it is sad that kids have to go to bed hungry, but simply feeding their belly is not the solution, unless it is accompanied with spiritual knowledge. The...

The universality of what Srila Prabhuapda is offering
Recently, a harinama was taking place at the Atlantic Ave./Barclays subway station in New York City. While sitting at our harinama book-table, I had two nice encounters within fifteen minutes, before the police asked us to remove the table. A friendly Muslim lady, dressed in a black gown, with a large percentage of her head covered, stopped by. She mentioned that she had been to our temple in Brooklyn and liked it. She said that her...
