Raising Krsna consciousness in Copenhagen
I was distributing books in Copenhagen outside a shopping area. I handed a man the Bhagavad-gita and showed it to him, and he said, "My prayers have been answered! I've been praying every day for some guidance in my spiritual life. My hairs are standing on end as you're showing me this book. Is the book as amazing as the pictures you're showing me?"

Today was one of my worst days on this trip. Even though I feel that I was kicked around in the fire of sankirtana, or, better yet, by the material energy, still I sit here waiting to meet up with the sankirtan van, drinking a lemon/ginger drink and thinking “Krsna is the taste of water.” Even without effort, I still feel Krsna's presence in my consciousness. But I earlier felt moments of tears behind my eyes when no...
