Dear devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to his disciples. Lila Madhava das, from Argentina, told me a far out story recently in Mayapur. He distributes books in Barcelona, Spain. For one entire month, he told me, he was distributing on a specific street, at a particular intersection. Everyday he would try to stop the same young lady, who would refuse to give him any attention. One day, he walked with her a few meters, pleading with her in a friendly way, "Come one! Just take one...

Sankirtan in Dhotis and Sankirtan meditation

On the skt festival in Simhacalam in Germany which was held at the end of December we had a very nice association with Anakadundubhi prabhu from Italy.

“One who is inquisitive, he should be given chance.”

I heard that Srila Prabhupada once said, 'there are brahmanas at every corner. You just have to pick them up." The following story, which happened last month in Nice (France), illustrates this point. I was standing on the street at the entrance of a very large and busy electronic/music store called "La FNAC." One young man with a pony tail walked by me, heading inside the store. I stopped him and I showed him Srimad Bhagavatam. Stunned, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "I can't believe this!! I can't believe...

The Guide of all devotees

I was distributing in the airport and it was becoming very frustrating, no one would take a book.
