Mystical Messages on Sankirtan
Going on book distribution is always an adventure. We never know what lesson Krishna wants us to learn next. Recently, I was distributing on 16th Street in downtown Denver, Colorado. A young man approached me with a concern. He said, “Hey, why don’t you carry your books like a real monk on your back? Why do you cheat and use that rolling bag? That’s not very honorable.” Slightly amused by the ridiculous accusation, I was...
Krsna and His devotee give a helping hand
Burwood is usually one of the toughest suburbs in Sydney for book distribution. I have been there a few times already. So this time I started pessimistically again, then realized that I need to be positive to start book distribution, so I went on to greet some people.

I approached my temple authority, saying, "Aditya Rupaka Prabhu, can I do another service today? I think that today isn't really my day for sankirtan."

Today I am just a carrier.'" As...
“Do I keep it? Do I put it back?”
During our Monthly Sankirtan Festival in Wellington, a boy was walking in our direction, so we asked him, “Are you a thoughtful person?” He responded, “Yes, I am. And right now I’m in a predicament. Maybe you guys can help me.” He was looking a little distressed so my husband, Bal Gopal, patted his shoulder and said, “Sure, man, what’s going on?” He said, “I just went to the cash...
