Inspired by the Higher Taste
Today at the Otara flea market in south Auckland, New Zealand, we set up a book stall called the “Yoga Stop.” David, walked past and did a double take when he saw the Higher Taste cookbook. He was immediately attracted to the book and picked it up. As we talked, he revealed that he was into healthy eating and spiritual lifestyle. Dave mentioned that he had been eating only puréed vegetables because they were of high life...
More nectar from Oz
I was rushing through the back streets of Campsie (Sydney) on my return visit to the town after a frustrating search for a parking spot. There was an elderly Middle Eastern gentleman on the bus-stop seat of an isolated street. I was about to walk past him. But something in me said: I know there will be no chance of him understanding Krishna, but the point is, "the more you ask the more you sell." He was shaking from...
Krsna has entered another persons life
Hare Krishna Dear Devotees, I was distributing in Kilbirnie, Wellington. Amongst many nice young people, I met Alex. He was amazed to see the books and explained that Krishna now has special significance in his life. Yesterday he went to view a room in which Wanzi ( a Wellington devotee) is renting and has taken the room. Now he is super excited about moving into a “Hare Krishna flat”. He told me that he is a vegetarian...
Some ecstatic symptoms
I just came back from traveling sankirtan, where many amazing encounters took place.

The lady explained to me her spiritual transformation after her father had had a very severe stroke; it really changed her life for the better. When I was talking with her she...
Krishna is Bhakta Vatsala
I approached an older black man at a street fair. In a respectful manner, he began to question why I believed what was in the books. Considering how good of an event this was, I was surprised that I was giving him so much time. But I would soon find out why. His daughter (about ten yrs. old) came and sat down next to her father, looked at the books, and said “Hey, that’s Krishna!” Her father and I were both shocked. I asked,...
Srila Prabhupada’s books do the heavy lifting
We cast our books to the public, not knowing where they’ll go. It’s nice to see them take root and grow. Recently, I visited Matthew’s house in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was the first time I’d seen him since our brief encounter at a music festival nine years ago. He proudly showed me his Bhagavad Gita, “This is the book you sold me. I read the whole thing. It took me a year.” The book was full of colorful marks highlighting...
