Four year old girl: “Animals don’t deserve to die.”
While distributing books at the Observatory in Los Angeles, I met a really amazing family. The father was very interested in the japa beads I had on display. He told me that he just finished a meditation workshop and was looking for a string of beads. I gave him one and showed him the book Chant and Be Happy. He became really happy. He told me that he's had wonderful experiences with the Krishnas. His four-year-old daughter had...
Seven Srimad Bhagavat Sets Distributed on Ekadasi
In the morning I was doing a japa walk, and a person told me that today is Ekadasi. He said that whatever auspicious activity we perform gives a multiplied result. This gave me the impetus to set a goal of distributing ten Bhagavatam sets. When I returned home, I saw that I had only two sets.

I answered that we need to learn about the name, form, qualities and pastimes of Allah, and develop love for Him and that this Krishna book was about the pastimes of the Lord since He was a boy until He wrapped up his pastimes. By reading this, I told...
Speechless
I bought a box of Hindi Gitas from the Chandigarh ISKCON temple during a recent visit to India. I tried to distribute books in my neighborhood on my last day in Himachal Pradesh. I visited the extended neighborhood in my village. There I met a humble soul we used to call Chachu during my childhood.

Arab Man Coming Back for Books Again and Again
While distributing books at the West LA College in Los Angeles, I was speaking to a man from Saudi Arabia. He is upset that there is so much fighting in the Arab countries. I showed him the picture in the Gita of how a wise person sees within everyone both a soul and God and therefore respects all living entities. Then I said, "If everyone saw like this, there'd no longer be wars around the world and there'd be no room...
