The Nectar Of Book Distribution
Please Accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I've been distributing books in Madison, Wisconsin, USA for the last few days. I had been sick with a terrible flu that had similar symptoms to Malaria for a week and a half, so it was hard to get started again. Especially since One day it was 80 degrees and the next day it dropped to near freezing. With great effort I dragged myself out of my sleeping bag at 4:30 in the morning and had the morning program. I'm staying in my motor home now so it's harder to wake up when it's almost freezing when you are sleeping. Madison is one of the most liberal places in America so the people are quite receptive to Krishna Conscioiusness. I got out on the street at the University of Wisconsin not knowing what to expect. As soon as I set foot out there a girl came up to me and asked if there was a Hare Krishna restaurant in Madison. She said she was from Los Angeles and eats at the temple Govinda's restaurant all the time there.
I told her no but some devotees from Chicago are starting a prasadam distribution program in Madison soon. That made here happy. Then I met a Chinese lady who was a Buddhist her whole life but became a Christian recently. She said that no church or bible convinced her but she felt that God told her to love Jesus and now she is doing that. She was very interested in Krishna Consciousness since she had never heard of it before. She gave a good donation and got a book. Basically the last few days of Sankirtana were very ecstatic with so many people getting books. My realization is that if ISKCON focuses on Harinama and Sankirtana like it used to and like Srila Prabhupada wanted us to that most of our Problems will disappear. Ceto Darpana Marjanam. Cleansing the Heart. When your heart is clean you don't have any problems. I pray that the devotees of the world will unite in one big Sankirtana festival that will blow the roof of the Universe and we'll all float right back to Goloka Vrindavana.
Sankirtana Yajna Ki Jai!
