Book distribution in Slovenia
Recently I was in Ljubljana, Slovenia. They have a very nice team of sankirtan devotees dedicated to distributing Srila Prabhupada's books.
I asked one of the sankirtan devotees Lamancita Prabhu, the sankirtan leader how he joined. He said, "When I was in school my physical education coach started talking to me about Krsna and the philosophy. He gave me some books, and I found them a little interesting. The next year I was surprised that he wasn't working at the school anymore. Soon I finished reading the books he had given me, and finding them even more interesting, I called the temple in Ljubljana to find out more. The person who answered the phone was my former coach! I was so happy to hear his voice. He had joined the temple and was a brahmacari. He preached to me some more, and one year later I also joined."
I asked another sankirtan devotee how he joined, and he told me that before he met the devotees he had been distributing books door to door for twenty years, but the books he was distributing were about the history of Slovenia. One day he received a Lilamrta and a few other books and became convinced that he should dedicate his life to serving Krsna. He still distributes door to door, but the only book he distributes now is "Bhagavad Gita As It Is."
Your servant,
