Appreciative people encourage a book distributor
On a rainy day in Curitiba, Brazil, Mahananda Murari Prabhu (JPS) did sankirtana on buses. Inside a bus, one man was on his phone, so he excused himself.
It could have been a trick to avoid the monk, but no, because when he and Mahananda got off at the terminal, the man approached him with money in his hand and said, “I want to talk to you.”
His name is Vilmar, he said, and he really appreciates our work. He bought a bottle of water for Mahananda and took a cookbook. (See photo.) Soon after that, a guy who had already bought a book on the bus also took another book.
A third person, Mychele, explained to Mahananda that she and her brothers had become atheists because of cases of religious extremism in their family, but she wants to one day find true peace. She and Mahananda had a great conversation, and she took “In Search of the True Self.” (See the second photo.)
People constantly observe and appreciate our missionary work, thanks to Srila Prabhupada’s purity and our exemplary behavior while representing him in public.
