Really nice gentleman named Lakshman originally from Trinidad now living in New Jersey! He was on his way home from working in the city when I stopped him. He told me that he works in finance. I explained to him that we’re monks who come out to chant Krishna’s names for 6 hours daily and give New Yorkers the opportunity to connect to Krishna by also distributing spiritual literature. I asked him if he wants to help us out by giving a donation to support our temple and our preaching work. He wanted a copy of the “Bhagavad Gita as it is” but I showed him our “Sapta” set instead and told him he might as well take this complete set home with him while he’s at it. He said: “it’s amazing work you guys are doing and I want to support you guys. Ok I’ll take all the books.” He gave nice donation and thanked me.
