Miracle at the Mall
The marathon started and we decided to go on a traveling sankirtan trip for four days to the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. Unlike previous times, we decided to distribute in devotional clothes. We looked at the weather forecast for the week and found that from Wednesday on it was pretty bleakÑthunderstorms and rain. Nevertheless, praying for the mercy of the Lord, we embarked on our trip and soon...

"Wow how did you know?" he replied, "But no, were...
Switzerland Cows

This tapasya gave us an edge over the sense-gratifiers; kept us jolly, no matter how many people didn't stop. A sharp young man in the army who's into Shaolin monks bought the ISO. Meanwhile, Bhakta Daniel sold Mahabharata to a middle-aged...

It was nine P.M. and I had distributed 91 books. I thought to myself, "I am so tired I cannot go on anymore. Tomorrow I will distribute a hundred." I got on the car and started driving to the accommodation. While in Lempaala, I thought, "Maybe I...
