There’s the cell phone blues, here’s the cell phone ecstacy

University in Vancouver

from Vedavyasa das

My obeisances and Thank you Vijay prabhu

Your story reminded me of one day when I was going door to door at a university in Vancouver.

The Bhagavad gita's were going very well. At one door one lady student wasn't interested but then I heard some noise in the basement. I requested, can you ask the person downstairs?

The lady tried and the person downstairs said, "not interested".

Then I heard someone speaking on the phone upstairs. I asked the lady, "can you ask the man upstairs?

She seemed surprised that I asked again, but she tried anyway. The student upstairs said no, but the person he was talking to on the phone asked his friend to ask me what the title of the book is.

I said, "Bhagavad Gita as it is".

So he repeated the title to his friend on the cell phone. Than He asked on behalf of his friend, "which edition"?

I said, "Bhaktivedanta book trust with the original Sanskrit, word for word translation, with purport and beautiful pictures (while showing him the pictures). He repeated this to his friend then his friend asked. "How much"? I said, "$20".

Then he said, "SOLD"!

Everyone laughed and we realized that the man in front of me sold the Bhagavad-gita to his friend. Then the man said, "but I have no money". The original lady then said, "I have money!" So she lent money to the person on the cell phone.

Lord Caitanya has amazing ways to give His mercy.
