Paris a God-given hope makes a woman cry
Two days ago, I saw that we had an old version of Bhagavad-gita in Arabic in the bookroom. So today I decided that I would try to distribute it. Just before leaving the temple I almost forgot it, but I finally remembered to take it. During the whole time on book distribution I had this heavy Bhagavad-gita under my arm. I decided that I would give it to someone who gives me ten dollars for a small Arabic book. Maybe after one or two hours of distributing books, an Arabic lady came to see the books I was distributing. I showed her the Arabic...

I hope all of you are well in these unusual times. These are difficult times for many people. However, the sankirtan devotees are as fired up as ever, and thus many temples are increasing book distribution. A temple in Russia just outside of Moscow is very focused on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. The problem is that they have four useless vehicles, which are dangerous to drive.

In Paris I met two Catholic priests. They were in their car, ready to leave.

They finally took a Bhagavad-gita and were very happy with their new book! However, the best part of...

We were just leaving the temple with Dayal Nitai Prabhu (DNP) and Nitai Caran Prabhu (NCP), and were in the train going to Paris. As usual I had some books in my hand. A lady sits next to me, and I can see that she is trying to read the title of the first book of the stack. So I ask her: “Are you trying to read the title of my book? It is Bhagavad-gita.” She then tells me that she is into spirituality. I tell her that this book is not a book of a certain religion, but is rather a book on spirituality. I explain her that we can...
read moreWhere do all our Bhagavatam set customers come from?
We were busy serving customers, when I saw a couple sitting peacefully under our book display and reading the books. I became curious to know more about them, whether they are devotees, customers, what they were reading and if they would possibly take a Srimad Bhagavatam set. As soon as I approached them, they started glorying the books they were reading. She was reading The Perfection of Yoga, and he was reading a Gita. To my amazement, they also wanted to know more about the Srimad...
