Book distribution nectar in New Zealand
Hare Krsna, My guru, Devamrita Swami, once asked whether we ever distributed in a small town called Tokoroa. Many small towns in New Zealand rarely get visited, so on our most recent trip, to fulfill his desire, this town was one of the first places we stopped at. Bhakta Dennis and I started off in the town centre and then continued distributing door to door in the evening. We had many wonderful exchanges, but here I will describe...
London book buyers impressed
While in London recently, I tried to go out daily on book distribution with my son, Haridev. One day, a young lady stopped to talk with me and she took a book. As she was walking away, she had a realisation, and she stopped in her tracks to say, "You just took away my anger" in a baffled tone of voice. I thought, Lord Caitanya is so kind to let me witness Him taking away someone's anger. Another day I had an exchange...
Krishna’s agent

As I rose, I found a young man facing me,...
Lord Caitanya’s mercy in unpredictable and unexplainable
Hare Krsna, It's such a pleasure when Krishna sometimes shows us the immediate chain of somebody becoming a devotee through the books of His pure devotee. And how sweetly Krishna does it! During the Srila Prabhupada Marathon, London's Soho Street temple was out there on the streets, with grihasthas supporting it from behind. We got over 1,500 sponsored copies of "Chant and be Happy." At the last day, when Christmas...
Krishna never forgets
Hare Krsna, Recently, I was in Hellensville NZ with books and stopped a lady and passed her a Bhagavad-gita. “Oh,” she asked, “is this Hare Krishna?” She explained that before she met her husband, he had been a devotee and then left his devotional service. Lately he had become depressed, and she saw him in the garage searching through boxes for one of his old books about Krishna. He had been disappointed not to...
Discovery!
Hare Krsna, In Sydney the devotees have done harinam and prasada and book distribution for decades. The cumulative and combined effect of these transcendental activities is out of this world. Book distribution definitely becomes simpler day by day! By the blessings of Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha and Srila Prabhupada, we have been able to try new ways to distribute books and have had good success. By the mercy of Srila Prabhupad, North...
