Krishna’s agent
I returned to the brahmacari ashram after a really tough day on Queen Street in Auckland. Although I was out only for a short time, all I received was abuse; not one book went out. Feeling fallen and useless, all I could think was, "After all my years of distributing books, why won't Krishna use me as an instrument?" Entering the temple room, I offered obeisances to the Lord. 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.

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. He knows only a little bit about ISKCON and Krsna consciousness, and he has never actively read our books. 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
Looking ahead at the goals for the year, overall, we realized that we should get started with sets right away. 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...
