Sankirtan stories: Unexpected books
PASSAGE STAMP SHOP
This story happened at the end of the Friday. I tryed to enlighten people in the down town passages. Because of Friday everybody rushed like anything. Just not to miss their weekend happyness. People in the passage shops and offices were in the similar mood. A few books went out. But still, I was satisfied with that. I gave up the hopes that something more can happened this passionate Friday afternoon.
I entered the Curiousity stamp shop and spoked to an elderly lady who decided to take BG for her esoteric minded daughter. Then some people came to the shop and looked at tabels full of stamps. The shop lady was further asking and began to have interest for SB set! So I knew that these grannies need some time to decide. Therefore we spoke about the daughter and her interests. Any interest daughter had was harmonicly connected with the SB. This was an easy way. On the contrary hard was to convince her that CZ pensionary should give quite some laxmi for the books. But her daughter was realy interested in the karma etc. This was the engine that lady bought it. Thank you KRSNA!
WAITING
After second ring doors quickly opened. A person with tens face appeared. I could see that this lawyer was either in the middle of meeting or a phone call. As I could sense it, I calmly suggested that he can first finish his meeting or a phone. First he looked at my large figure with the strange box in my hands. Then to my eyes, a little surprised, as if he was saying: how do you know that I have a phone?!
Problem was that he had a very long phone. I stand in the waiting room, out his reach, just heard his stereotype voice. Now, I use the waiting time acconrding the circumstances. Usualy I sit down and read. But because I could sense that it would be a long talking, I did my 5-10 minutes exercising, standing yoga asanas (unseen). We bouth finished at the same time.
Naturaly I took good breath after the yoga. I could enthusiasticly explained about the topics in the set. When he heard the subjects, lawyer decided that it would be a nice present to his wife, who is into China medicines.
KRSNA ENTERES INTO NUMEROLOGY
Last week I contacted a lady who has Numerology and the stuff studio. She already had first canto and heard about me from the lady who took the set a day ago. First she said that she will not take anything at all. But Krsna inspired me talk about what she had interested in. The character of the people today, vedic astrology and astronomy, karma, providence and so on.
Although first negative, she agreed that everybody has some message for somebody. Also nothing happenes by chance. Lady honestly agreed that she have to take it. Providence of Vedic numerology was too stong.
SCHOOLS
I visited the Language school of the Prague and Basic shool nearby the first one. In bouth, amasingly took the sets together with the INTERACTIVE BG. The third Industry shool, also nearby, had to wait for their books till the next week.
I hope you are in good health and everything is all right.
Your Servant,
Laxmivan Das
