Jesus donates!

I approached a man who stopped and seemed was interested, but as I was talking to him I noticed a large cross necklace around his neck. I thought: "Krsna, this is in Your hands, I'll try my best to get this person to take a book, but ultimately it's up to You." I told him about the book and then asked for a donation. He reached into his pocket pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and said, "This is from Jesus...

Bird watcher starts to find the “two birds within the heart”

It was another classic windy and cold day on Willis Street in Wellington. Not one book had gone out in two and a half hours. Seeking relief from the cold, I crossed the road to a small patch of sun, where I immediately spotted Jennifer coming out of the health food shop.

The Best verse & some lines for evoking the right consciousness

While distributing at the Hollywood farmers' market I approached a man who, after seeing my books, said, "No, it's not my thing." Then he went on his way.

Then, smiling, I said to him, "I knew you'd come back, it's your fate to have one...

Srila Prabhupada and Pankaja

I heard a horn honking, then someone yelling. I looked toward where the sounds came from and saw an Indian man in a taxi calling me over. He told me that he has the book "Your Ever Well-Wisher." Then he proceeded to completely glorify Srila Prabhupada and how amazing Prabhupada was. "I just loved the book, and I want to read more!" I showed him the TLK, which didn't grab him, so I showed him SB 1.1 and told him...
