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...
Singapore’s Web site inspires a visitor
Hare Krsna, A Chinese person in Singapore recently read our Web site, especially the shastra-dan section, which describes giving knowledge in charity, and he was inspired to sponsor a thousand books for the devotees to distribute.

The icing on top of the cake is that I asked him what he does for a living, and he said that he is...
Let’s try this one last door

The moment we set the goals, we realized that we needed to do at least seven sets each weekend, including that coming Saturday. Realizing that it is a very difficult goal (sankalpa), we prayed to Lord Chaitanya to send sincere souls. One devotee was helping us to load books in our car, and he said, "My wife is reading...
A happy day
Hare Krsna, On March 13th I attended the sannyasa initiation of Uttama-sloka Prabhu, whose new name is Bhakti Rasayana Sagara Swami. Later, while we were waiting for prasada, a devotee sat next to me and asked whether my name is Vijaya. We talked for a while, and then he said, "Can I tell you of an interesting thing that happened to a friend of mine. He works in New Delhi, and every day he sells a Bhagavad-gita in the train on...
50 Books For the 50th Anniversary: A Follow-Up Memo
Hare Krsna, I have a few comments to make on the ten guidelines complied by Divyasimha for ISKCON's 50/50 campaign. 1. The "How to" which you have prescribed is very good for those wishing to do the street in the traditional ISKCON way. The challenge is how to engage the maybe 80% of congregation and ex-ashram members who are not on that level of sadana or maybe none at all! Otherwise we run the risk of making sankitana...
