“No Rest from book Distribution”
Merrylands Sydney, Australia
It was Monday morning. I had to do some banking etc. It was nearly lunch so I went home for early lunch thinking I will go on books after lunch, but Krsna had other plans. A young lady knocked on the door doing a survey. I answered her questions in 2 minutes then invited her in for prasadam. She happily agreed.
Afterwards I showed her some books. She became so mesmerised asking questions and reading the books that she forgot the time( it was 5pm and she had been getting the mercy for 4 hours!) Realizing she was late to meet her boss she bought an SSR and Ever Well Wisher, expressed an interest to come back, then left.
Anyway I thought I would spend what was left of the day with my wife and new child. But Krsna did not seem to like this idea. I had to buy some groceries so I drove to the fruit shop. As soon as I jumped out of the van people started to approach me (the benefit of being in robes and having Hare Krsna signs on the side of the van.) The first couple asked me about programs and bought a big 1st canto Srimad Bhagavatam , Ever Well Wisher and some neck beads for $50. The lady in the car next to me said she was vegetarian her whole life. She bought a Gita , Evre Well Wisher and a cookbook for $40. Then a lady approached me saying she wanted to speak to me when I was free. It turned out she ran the 'Fitness First' shop close by. She bought 3 cookbooks and an Ever Well Wisher for $100 and then asked, "Could put a variety of Philosophy and cookbooks for sale in my shop!"
So we should see every situation as an opportunity to give the conditioned souls these wonderful gifts.
Srila Prabhpadas book distribution Ki Jaya!
