A regular customer appeared out of nowhere
I was distributing in Bethlehem, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. In the Countdown Supermarket parking lot I saw a young delivery guy heading toward his van. I approached him and put a Hiding in Unnatural Happiness in his hand. Eru is a nineteen-year-old New Zealander half Maori native. Enthused about the book and our exchange, he wanted to donate but had no cash, so I pulled out the mobile eftpos PayClip machine. Eru trusted me...
Atheist take Prabhupada’s books
I approached a couple in downtown Denver and offered them books. Immediately the man said, "Not interested — we're atheists." I responded, "You know, with all of the advancement in science, none of the scientists have a clue what consciousness is. They speculate about it, and that's it. There is no agreement among them what consciousness is. "But Socrates had a clear understanding of consciousness:...
The face reader got it right
Once I was distributing in a train at the Secunderabad Railway Station, and I met a face reader (an astrologer who just by seeing the face or a photograph of a person tells about the person). I showed him a Telugu Bhagavad-gita, and he saw Srila Prabhupada's photograph on the back cover. He said, “This person is very intelligent.” I confirmed it and said, “If you read his book, you will also become very...
What a coincidence!
On a Monday afternoon, in the recent mid-year marathon, Bal Gopal, my husband, and I were trying a little book distribution along the busy Lambton quay in Wellington. Nobody was showing much interest at all. We were on our way home from serving Krsna Food and had to stop at the bank to deposit the takings from that day. Inside the bank, I held up the Science of Self Realisation, showing it to Bal Gopal, and recited the Panca Tattva...
Don’t forget and always remember
We recently heard from Chaitanya Vihara Prabhu about his experience on book distribution in his neighborhood – within just twenty minutes. He's a doctor, but he found time to go out with books, and he had some really nice experiences. He's not a full-time book distributor anymore, but he knows the importance of book distribution, so wants to continue this service when time permits. Many of you devotees receiving these...
Krsna showed me that we are not just distribution machines
An e-mail came to my address. It was an order for Bhagavad Gita As It Is. The lady ordering it got some of our books and some she had two of, so she wanted to exchange the extras for different titles. I responded, saying she can come to our temple for the book exchange, and I'll send her a Gita. Then we went traveling, on a Janmastami maraton, during which I was meditating upon leaving a nice impression on people who do not...
