I saw him walking down the street in Jersey City where we were doing books for the day and spoke to him. I wished him a Happy Diwali then asked him where he’s from? He told me that’s he’s originally from North India but he and his family have been living in America for many years now. I told him that today’s Laxmi puja! I explained how on Diwali festival time many Indian people eat sweets, buy new clothes and burst some fire crackers but that’s not what Diwali is really all about. I told him Diwali is about knowledge, spiritual knowledge. Then I put a “Sapta” set in his hands and said here’s some knowledge! He gave a very nice donation from his heart so I also added our “Lilamrita”’set and gave the “Origins” magazine to his daughter!
