Krsna’s Invisible Hand! And the world sankirtan newsletter
I would like to share a small incident that happened to me while I was doing the smart box service in Houston Texas. After that you can read the world book distribution results for March, I went to one store where the store owner had some of the books in the smart box in Spanish. When I was collecting the laxmi from the box and refilling the books, the store owner told me that he would like me to refill the smart box with English books rather than Spanish, as he did not sell any Spanish books. I gladly agreed and refilled the box with English...

While distributing books at Purdue University (in West Lafayette, Indiana), I met a student who told me his mother was very interested in Vedic ideas and that she was a counselor in Purdue's Office of the Dean of Students.

He didn't show much interest. From his bulging muscles I could tell he lifted weights and worked out a lot. I said, "It's good that you're taking care of your body, but did you know that while we're talking right now your body is dying? Every second you're getting closer to death, and in a relatively short time your body will be dead. But...

Here's some nectar from the Nectar of Devotion Because Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is very difficult to approach Him. But the devotees, taking advantage of His compassionate nature, which is represented by Radharani, always pray to Radharani for Krsna's compassion. The behavior of the confidential friends of Krsna is described by a friend of Radharani who told Radharani, "My dear graceful Radharani, Your intimate friend Krsna is also served by His intimate boyfriends. Some of them cut jokes with Him in mild...
