A super favorable scientist from China
It was a little quiet at my book table, so I was reading a verse from the Gita for inspiration. And then I hear someone saying, “Haribol! Haribol!“ I looked up. It was this super-favourable scientist and gentleman named Leo, from China. He met devotees 25 years ago in Shanghai and became a vegetarian. Devotees left a great impression on him. He gave a nice donation and took a Gita and a couple of Chinese books and an invitation to our...
Professors help with book distribution

Throughout the years she has made many devotees from her book distribution. I hope all of you are inspired by this short interview with her. Your...
Generousity came as a surprise
After going through a relatively tough day at Foothill College, I met a student at the table who didn’t look like he would take or give anything. I explained to him about all the books and had asked for a donation. He gave a fifty-dollar donation, saying, “I want to be generous.” It was kind of a surprise to see this happening.
