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...
Age is no Barrier
I saw a community Studio Gallery on Friday, July 5th, while “doing” the town, I did notice the Gallery and intended to visit, but somehow I forgot. Even though stationed about 20 km from this small town for a physically relaxing and recuperating weekend, I happened to pass the same Studio Gallery again on Saturday morning. This time I went in, and there was Judith, a 78-year-old lady, the caretaker for the day. We talked...
How Amazing are the words of Krsna
We were at the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Festival in Canada – http://www.kwmc.on.ca/content/multicultural-festival – with a harinama, a book stall, and many, many enthusiastic sankirtana warriors freely distributing Krishna's mercy to thousands of festival goers.

“Getting out of the matrix?”
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Not sure if you remember me. My name is Daniel, and I’m from Israel. In 2009 I was studying at QUT – Information Technology. I had heard before, in Israel, the message of the Gita from devotees in class, but I had a problem with God having a blue form, and I was about to travel the world for some time, so I stopped attending the Gita classes. In 2009 I...
Never in forty years has Bhrgupati seen this happen
At the Sasquatch Music Festival, Bhrgupati Prabhu and I were going from tent to tent distributing books. Thousands of kids had come and set up tents in order to enjoy a weekend of music, drinking, drugs and so on. Bhrgupati and I were marching through the fields when we saw about ten kids partying and yelling. A drunk young man had no shirt on, and in one hand he had a can of beer. He wore sunglasses, and his face was marked with face...
A Profound Realization
While my wife and I were visiting her family in Melbourne, we met a very nice boy called Julian from Germany. He was an unsuspecting and very fortunate soul who came to offer some service. He was a sales representative who came to our door to offer us a reduction of rates for electricity and power. Little did he know what Krsna would give him in return. After he finished his service of giving us a discount, before he left, I casually...
