Really nice gentleman named John from Long Island who just came up to the book table right after we finished setting up the Harinam in Penn station. He told me that he just started reading one of the Upanishads that his girlfriend gave him as a gift. His girlfriend’s actually reading Srila Prabhupada’s “Bhagavad Gita as it is” right now! He took an “Easy journey to other planets” at first because he only had a few dollars in cash but I told him we take credit card. He looked at the “Sapta” set sitting on the book table and asked how much to give for it, he ended up donating $60 so Krishna prasad prabhu came over and gave him a “Bhakta stack” as an extra gift. He works long hours in construction in the city and he was on his way to take the LIRR train back to his house. He told me that he doesn’t have much time to look for a Christmas gift for his girlfriend and this was perfect!
