These two friends were in a good mood exploring the farmers market in Union square park and they stopped to watch the Harinam and take a video of the kirtan. Priya Krishna prabhu pointed them out to me so I went up to them. I asked them if they’re from India, they told me originally yes but they’re born in America. I found out that they actually had no idea of Krishna or didn’t know much about the spiritual culture of India. Their parents have some books like the Gita but they didn’t know any philosophy themselves. They wanted to get a “Sapta” set but they only offered $20 donation at first so I explained to them what we were doing out in the park with daily chanting of Krishna’s names and distribution of Krishna consciousness books to help people get back into spiritual life and reconnect with Krishna. They could understand what we were about and they both agreed to give the full donation for the set very respectfully.
