What Better way to spend our time
After our enlivening six week college tour in the Northwestern United States Jaya Gauranga das and myself decided we would leave Salt Lake City after a half-day of book distribution and then go to Las Vegas (Sin City) spend the night and then go back to LA. This would break the trip in half so that we wouldn't have to drive as much on one stretch. As we entered Las Vegas we decided to take an exit where we could find a place to...
Coming to Krsna in Russia
While in Moscow, I heard of some interesting ways devotees had come to Krsna. One young man was taking LSD and mushrooms and then started to ask the big questions about life. His friend who had some kirtans of Srila Prabhupada and BBT books awakened his interest in Krishna consciousness. He gradually joined, but not exactly alone: He was the best skateboarder in Europe, and he's still famous. Now he's a full time book...
Students Flock to a Book Table
We just spent a wonderful hour during our lunchtime distributing Srila Prabhupada's most precious books to many students in Silicon Valley. A boy named Brendon from South Africa came to our table and asked whether we are Vaishnavas. He said that he already has a Gita, given to him by his father, but wanted to get a copy of each of the other books we had. The first girl I met and showed the SSR was reluctant to touch it. So I asked...
Inspired by Paramatma
While distributing books in the city center in Perth, Australia, I approached a woman sitting on the lawns, perhaps getting a little breather from busy office life. I enquired if she was interested in books on yoga and meditation, but she denied. Thanking her, I continued on with my service, talking with several passers-by and showing them our books – some of them giving a donation and taking them. This continued for the next...
After a Long Time Three Meaningful Encounters
After a long time of not being active in book distribution I was nervous, hesitant, and even a bit afraid to approach people. "Krishna conciousness is so simple, you might just miss it." With that statement by Srila Prabhupada (related by Tribhuvanath Prabhu) in my mind, I just started. An elderly man with a Nepal T-shirt came by. "You've visited Nepal?" i asked. He was a retired, thoughtful geologist, who...
The nectar for which we are always anxious for! by Madhu Mangal das
Dear Prabhu's, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to our most beloved Srila Prabhupada, all glories to Sti Guru and Sri Gauranga all glories to the sankirtan devotees of the Lord! Every so often now and then, I take the train from here in Rondebosch to the seaside village resort of Muizemberg or Simonstown, which makes a nice change from the malls and shopping centers in town. These seaside village resorts are very...
