I felt like it was the right thing to do.

While visiting Denver, I went up to Fort Collins, just north of Denver, with some devotees to distribute books and chant at Colorado State University.

The devotees have a nice program there, every dayuesday. they have an attractive harinama, sitting down in the middle of the campus. Fifty yards down the walkway I had a table full of Srila Prabhupada’s...

A Wealthy Beggar

Over the summer I've been traveling with book distributors from the Simhachalam temple in Germany. They distribute Srila Prabhupada's books in southern Germany and in Austria.
