Two Stories From Budapest
A few weeks ago, Bhakta Marcel invited a young man to the temple from sankirtana. The young man liked the book that he'd received, and he was open-minded. He sat down for a bhajan, and Marcel went somewhere else. After thirty minutes Marcel came back, and the young man was sitting in a shocked condition. Marcel asked him what happened, and he said “Unbelivable! The statues are dancing!" [the Deities of Nitai-Gauranga]...
“Atiya”. From the Harinama group of New York.
She was staring at the Harinam. I said, “Salaam alaikum.” She replied, and I began to speak to her about love of God. She asked about the goal of life and how to obtain it. 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.

Then I said, "If everyone saw like this, there'd no longer be wars around the world and there'd be no room...
Four Sets, One Person
I had a late start on Friday, July 1, 2016 (because of other services at the temple), but it was an excellent start. The first person I met took a Gita even though he could not even speak much English. This made me think it's going to be a fantastic day. It proved to be so after meeting George. This was at Chinatown in Sydney,Australia. George was born and brought up in Australia. He had not visited the temple, but was aware of it...
Yoga Teacher Distributes Prabhupada’s Books
Mahadyuti Prabhu has shared many reports that after giving a class, he's distributed some books. I was inspired to follow in his footsteps at a recent yoga class. Before the yoga class, I told a devotee who's a yoga teacher that I was invited to lead kirtan at a yoga center and looked forward to distributing some of Srila Prabhupada's books. He told me to never distribute books to yoga students until I have a long-term...
