An assist from Lord Siva
I met a nice person, Trey, last week at a university (picture att.). He was wearing a black necklace with Siva engraved on the pendant. He said he wears it to symbolize his current mentality toward life. I am grateful that Lord Siva has been purifying this person and brought him to me to receive a handful of Srila Prabhupada’s books. Your servant, Krsna Bhagavan...
With a super-interest, a lady gets suitable books

She said, “I have heard a lot about India and Eastern philosophy in my life, but I’ve never read an ‘authorized text’.” She took books and gave a nice donation.

A flash from the past
Mayapur-sasi Prabhu recently put online (in his international book distribution newsletter) a PDF of the old newsletters from the nineteen-seventies and early eighties.

I took some fruit, and she had many questions, so I was answering them and then...
Stopping the Army General
A few months ago I was distributing books in downtown Porto Alegre (southern Brazil) and saw General Vilas Boas (at the time, the commander of Brazil’s army) coming in my direction. Old and sick, he was being pushed in a wheelchair, surrounded by two dozen high-ranking military men and bodyguards. It looked like an impregnable aksauhini. The chances of being able to talk to him were small, but it was too good an opportunity to...
