Demigods help the devotees – story from travelling sankirtan in Londo
Here is a nice story that happened to us a few weeks ago on travelling Sankirtan: " A demigod takes pleasure in seeing someone go back to Godhead.

It was our...

This story was told to me by Gopal Hari das of Boise Idaho where I was distributing books at the University campus. In Russia there was a young boy thirteen years old who some how received one of Srila Prabhupada and became so attracted to the philosophy that he went to the temple and loved everything. The devotees gave him beads and more books. He gradually became more interested and eventually became a devotee. But there was a problem, at this time he was only sixteen and he knew his parents wouldn't approve, so he secretly continued...
