Why an Isopanisad went out to a young man
I heard this nice story from Sutapa Prabhu (Bhaktivedanta Manor). -Vijaya Bhakta Ruben approached four young men and offered them an Isopanisad. They all returned the book except for one of them, who said he'd give a donation. As he looked in his wallet, Ruben looked on and saw a piece of paper that had the word "Isopanisad" written on it. Ruben said, "Look at the name on the piece of paper and look at the title of...
The security of a table changes the experience of book distribution
Through this testimonial I wish to express my most sincere gratitude and appreciation to Jaya Chaitanya Prabhu and Satyanarayana Prabhu for inspiring me and guiding me to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books from a book table. The past marathon was surprisingly and exceptionally my best and also my most fulfilling period of book distribution. Having a book table really helped build my confidence. Just staying behind the table, I...
Not Meeting by Coincidence

Then I responded that what he said was the best thing anyone has called me, and that is why I am here: because I am striving to be a servant of the Supreme...
Knowledge is knowledge, and it’s meant for everyone
While I was in Bali, Padma Locana Prabhu told me about an amazing experience he had at the annual arts festival in Bali last year. Here's his account: I was distributing books and a nicely dressed Muslim lady wearing a burqa approached me and asked whether I had the Bhagavad-gita. I said, "Yes, I do. Would you like one?" "I've heard that it is a sacred text and very famous." While I showed it to her, a...
Profound Knowledge Made Someone a Book Distributor
We have a nice farm in southeast Germany called Simhacalam. Lord Nrsimhadeva is the presiding deity. While taking prasada there, I asked a book distributor, Advaita Simha Dasa, how he came to Krsna. Advaita Simha said, “Gaur Mohan approached me, and I gave a donation for a Science of Self Realization. At first I thought it was a cult, so I just wanted to hear what they have to say. But after reading a few chapters I realized...
