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. We can’t judge, based on the externals. We never know who Krishna inspires and how....
Mystical Krsna again comes through
We heard that 10,000 people were expected to attend a Navratri festival this evening, so I went with two new devotees to distribute at the Sakti Mandir. It was a super late-night festival.

“What’s my favorite book?”
I was standing on Queen Street in central Auckland. A Maori lady saw the books in my hand, approached me, and exclaimed, “Is that “Hiding In Unnatural Happiness”? I’ve got that book. In fact, it’s my favourite book!!” By way of confirmation, she then shouted to her partner on the other side of the sidewalk: “Oi! What’s my favourite book?” “Unnatural Happiness!” he responded. “See? I told ya.” Seizing the opportunity,...
