Hari Hari
I was distributing Bhagavad Gita's at a Phish concert in Hartford Conneticut (pretty wild scene, everyone is intoxicated except for the devotees and the fly's, actually the devotees were also intoxicated but of a different type, the mercy of Gaura Nitai). At the end of the day a few devotees and myself were standing around the van on our way to leave when a ticket scalper walked by some distance away and shouted," ANYONE WANNA BUY TICKETS TO THE DEERCREAK SHOW!
I said," NO! BUT I HAVE A TICKET FOR YOU TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD!
He replied, NAH, I DON'T WANNA GO THERE!
Ten minutes later I was at the New York devotees van discussing the results of the day when I saw the same guy walking by at the back of the van. As soon as I saw him I said," I still have that ticket to the Spiritual World if you want it". He came over and asked me to show what I have. The devotee in the van handed me a Bhagavad Gita, I showed him the pictures and explained how were all souls in the body just going through, I told him about karma and how if we act properly then the soul can go back to the spiritual world. After my presentation he said," This is a great book I'd love to read it, and you know, you people are great and who knows the next time I see you guys I may just join up. He shook hands with all the devotees and gave $20.
