Power of Prayer
From Murari Gupta Dasa: During the marathon in December at Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha Mandir, in Mumbai, Bhaktin Radhika Mehta set a record by distributing 5900 Bhagavad Gitas in 14 days. She was among the top ten book distributors in the world during the marathon. She says, "First, I sought the blessings of H.H.

She continued to describe what...

The Shoe-stall by Bhakta Bharat Balsawar One early morning during the December Marathon, in ISKCON Chowpatty, I came to the temple. I had a number of Hindi Bhagavad-gitas, which I wanted to exchange for Gujarati Gitas. The book storage room was open, but when I reached there, the devotees had piles of account books heaped on the table. "Sorry, Prabhuji," they told me, "we're taking care of the accounts now, so kindly come after the Srimad-Bhagavatam class." "OK," I said, and went to the shoe-stall, where I...
