Srila Prabhupada lands in Boston

We went to an event called "food not bombs" today. There a gentleman came and stood behind our table. He looked kind of scruffy, not sure if he was homeless or hippie, but had that kind of look.

He said: "I met your master when he first landed...

I was distributing at Fullerton College in Southern California recently when a student came to my table. I showed him the illustrations in the Bhagavad Gita and explained them to him.

He said, "Last night when I went home I told my father about the book you showed me, somehow I was able to explain what you showed me in the illustrations....
