MERCY AS IT IS ON THE GITA’S ADVENT DAY
Nélio approached us, asking: “What is your religion?” Mahananda Murari Prabhu explained that we exist to serve God, and the Hare Krishna Mantra is, precisely, a request for service.

A BLISSFULLY BEWILDERING MARATHON BEGINNING
I wasn’t expecting anything as the marathon kicked off, but right away Krsna encouraged us as multiple Bhagavatam sets flew off our book tables. One guy got a $20 stack, later he came back and got a $50 stack, and the third time he came back I thought he must love these books so much I pitched him the entire Bhagavatam set and he took it!
