Chanting Together with Book Buyers
Vaisesika Prabhu is like an incarnation of book distribution. He has made the service of sankirtan approachable for all sorts of new people and taught new things to veterans. Especially dynamic for me has been adopting Vaisesika's practice of giving everyone who has bought a book a mantra card and reciting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra together. Yesterday evening, after I picked up Aron from her workplace at Natural Grocers, we got...
Book Distribution at Los Angelos

Of course, Srila Prabhupad looked dignified even in a close-up of his radiant face, without seeing his dress. But the visage of a devotee in nicely...
A Letter from Czech Republic
Dear Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you for the samkirtan story below.
