Malawi Discovers Bhagavad-gita
Submitted by Murari Das
A ten-day international trade fair held in the nation of Malawi, in south central Africa, concluded recently. A well-wisher from India who is a managing director of a Malawian company had offered to hire a stall for ISKCON because he’s keen to help spread Srila Prabhupada’s teachings in Malawi. And so I showcased almost all of Srila Prabhupada’s books to those who visited our stall, people from a diverse section of society:
Students, businessmen, professionals, and even an ex-minister. There were some memorable moments.
One elderly man came up to me, and as I told him about ISKCON he said, “Oh! Krsna and the gopis!” I was surprised Continue reading “Malawi Discovers Bhagavad-gita”

How am I gonna distribute these books?
Submitted by Gaura Dasa
I was so tired, so I took a seat on one of the chairs provided for the elderly at the entrance of Pick ‘n Pay. I wondered how I would distribute the books I had, especially the three volumes of Srimad Bhagavatam which I had in my book bag.
Not much time passed until I heard ‘Haribol Prabhu!’ Continue reading “How am I gonna distribute these books?”

Auspicious
“The distribution of our literatures is such an important task, for as more people read these books, more and more the whole world will become auspicious, and the degrading influence of this age of Kali will become minimized.” (Srila Prabhupada letter to Koumadaki, March 27, 1972) Continue reading Auspicious
What to say when selling books
Gopinath Acharya das: Deepak prabhu introduced me to Srila Prabhupada and said, “Oh, this is Gopinath Acharya das. He is one of our leading book distributors.” So Srila Prabhupada was actually very interested; and he turned his head very regally, he looked at me and asked me what I said to sell the books. So I mumbled and fumbled something to the effect that, “Oh, … Continue reading What to say when selling books

Therefore there hasn’t really Continue reading “Zanzibar”

The End of a Nice Maha-Sankirtan Day
by Tirtha Pavana dasa (Montreal, Canada)
Bhakta Jeff and I reached downtown Montreal at noon, and by 7:30 we had
distributed all our flyers and books except one hardback Bhagavad-gita.
Both of us tried for thirty minutes to distribute that book, but no one
would take it. We preached to Christians, we preached to Indians — we
tried everyone! I convinced Bhakta Jeff to stay a little longer, but
finally Continue reading “The End of a Nice Maha-Sankirtan Day”
