Some ecstatic symptoms
I just came back from traveling sankirtan, where many amazing encounters took place. The other day I went into a shop and first gave a small book, then The Science of Self-Realization, and then, when the lady gave a nice donation, also the Bhagavad-gita. The lady explained to me her spiritual transformation after her father had had a very severe stroke; it really changed her life for the better. When I was talking with her she...
Krishna is Bhakta Vatsala
I approached an older black man at a street fair. In a respectful manner, he began to question why I believed what was in the books. Considering how good of an event this was, I was surprised that I was giving him so much time. But I would soon find out why.

That’s not very honorable.” Slightly amused by the ridiculous accusation, I was...
Krsna and His devotee give a helping hand
Burwood is usually one of the toughest suburbs in Sydney for book distribution. I have been there a few times already. So this time I started pessimistically again, then realized that I need to be positive to start book distribution, so I went on to greet some people. Met a couple of people and had unsuccessful attempts. Then along comes this Indian gentleman with ear phones on, listening to something. I stopped him and asked whether...
