Book Distribution from Mumbai
"We Just can't do it!!" Bhakta Parimal rejected the proposal. As they turned to me, I flustered, "Well..er..mm, I mean" I was not sure myself. Vitthaldeva Prabhu insisted, "Prabhus, this is the best time to do it. Let's just go for it". We had our apprehension, although we knew it wasn't a bad idea after all.

Starting a Discusion
Dear devotees and Candrasekhar prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I liked your point about giving a very straight forward presentation of yourself as a representative of ISKCON when disributing Prabhupada's books. I did stickers and a few books nine years ago.

To the list of those that it's difficult to be humble with I would add one's spouse (if one has one). Familiarity can lead to contempt. As you know, because of their purity the six gosvamis were dear to the gentle and to the ruffians. Thanks again!...
