Book distribution in Raleigh North Carolina
A few times a week, I take a long japa walk or japa hike. I put four or five books in my backpack and I chant, and I pray that I will be an instrument in Sri Sri Radha-Golokananda’s beautiful plan of bringing suffering souls closer to Their lotus feet. Generally, I tend to be shy, but since Covid 19, I feel a sense of urgency, and people are amazingly more receptive. So I just sit on a bench or a rock, chanting, and people show...
Man proposes, God disposes

Paris a God-given hope makes a woman cry
Two days ago, I saw that we had an old version of Bhagavad-gita in Arabic in the bookroom. So today I decided that I would try to distribute it. Just before leaving the temple I almost forgot it, but I finally remembered to take it. During the whole time on book distribution I had this heavy Bhagavad-gita under my arm.
