Preacher Gets the Mercy of the Book Distributors
Book distribution in Malawi, Africa
by Murari and Rama Gaura
We arrived a week back and have started going out on book distribution in the shops and outside colleges. Its quite different compared to other places I have been and so we are happy even when 1 book goes out.
In one shop, (an ISUZU motorcar display showroom) I entered and went into the 'spare parts' manager's office. He was African bodied and looked quite the intellectual type. He showed a lot of interest and was excited when I explained the philosophy to him in brief and ulimately added up the price of all the books (laws of nature, life comes from life, civ and transc and SSR) and took all of them. He then said that he didn't have enough money but wanted the Gita next time. Apparently he knew something about it from before, he said he heard it was very good. When I asked for his card I saw he was a pastor. His name was Pastor Chewanga. He preaches Christianity. He says he likes to read a lot and heard about the Bhagavad Gita and had wanted to try and get one.
