Two in Toronto, Tony and Marcia, get books
Tony, a former student of electrical engineering, is now studying acting. He responded to my question, "Hey, do you like to read?" with a hearty "Yes, I love to. What do you have there?" From there, our conversation never looked back on a refusal. Tony continued to ask questions and accept books. He told me he is very logical: "If you can't prove it, I can't believe it."

A devotee who works, visits the temple, and sometimes distributes books said to Sutapa during the marathon, "All the mystical things happen only to you devotees who're fully into book distribution, not to us part-timers." Sutapa gave him two hundred copies of Chant and Be Happy and said, "Put these in the boot [trunk] of your car and see whether you can distribute them." He was thinking, "How will I...
