Receptive Traveller

On the bus, en route to the Grahamstown Arts Festival in South Africa, we stopped at a rest stop.

Coming back into the bus, I noticed a young man, and said to him: “By the way you are dressed, it looks like you are on your way to the Grahamstown Arts Festival.”

He replied that he was going to the festival, and his accent sounded Spanish. So I greeted him in Spanish, and he said that he is from Brazil. I introduced myself, telling him that I am a traveling monk and that I am also going to the festival. I told him that I teach yoga and philosophy.

I asked him if he had ever seen any Hare Krishna devoteess in Brazil. Continue reading “Receptive Traveller”

A few points on health for book distribution

 

Submitted by Vijaya Dasa

Haribol Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

For those of you that sometimes have a sore throat when distributing, the best thing I’ve found to help is cloves, believe it or not. Just let them soak in your mouth a while, then slowly chew on them. I’ve found that nothing works better, and they’re very cheap.

If you want to go the long run on book distribution I recommend that you find some time to do yoga at least every other day. Even 10 or 15 minutes can do wonders. Continue reading “A few points on health for book distribution”

Report from Malawi

Malawi, in Africa, is a place where very few have heard of Krsna. But there are many people here who are always ready to buy the books, and as soon as they look at them, they say how beautiful they are.

Once I went into a bakery named Ali Baba Bakery and showed the books to the fair-skinned man at the cash counter. His name was Nicholas and he was immediately interested. He took SSR, Raja Vidya, Beyond Birth and Death, and Perfection of Yoga. He paid half the amount and asked me to come and collect the other half on the next day.

Dear Devotees,

On 19th April 2010, we arrived in Malawi with the hope of being used as instruments of Lord Caitanya to spread the sankirtan movement here. There were ups and downs and by the mercy of the Gurus and the GBC only were we able to stay on here and try to induce Malawians to join the ever expanding ocean of bliss that is the sankirtan movement of the most munificent Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

On the 29th and 30th September 2012 is the official opening ceremony for the new Preaching centre in Blantyre, Malawi. Continue reading “Open Invitation To ISKCON Blantyre’s Inauguration of their New Preaching Centre”
