World famous author Deepak Chopra!
He walked out of the subway and was looking at his phone when Kaliya Krishna prabhu spotted him and told me and Krishna prasad prabhu to go talk to him. We both said hello and he told us that he lives close to Union square park. He’s visited many Iskcon temples and one of his favorites was the Bhaktivedanta manor in London. He told me he was good friends with George Harrison who donated the manor to the devotees.
Krishna prasad prabhu gave him a cookie and said: “this is prasadam from Bhagavan Shri Krishna!” He gladly accepted it and put some cash in the donation basket. He told us that he has many of Srila Prabhupada’s books but I went and got a set anyway and put it in his hands. He asked if we could all take a picture together on his phone. He wanted to give another donation but said he didn’t have any more cash then I told him we accept credit cards so he gave generously. He thanked us!
Big news! Deepak Chopra receives a “Saptarishi” set! {7 maha big books in one shot} Jay Srila Prabhupada!
A few people walking by
recognized him and spoke with him. We gave cookies to several of them
and one of them came over to the book table, gave a donation and got a
“Science of self realization.”
