Nice young gentleman originally from the Dominican Republic named Christian now living in the Bronx. When I stopped him I told him he looks real peaceful and asked him if he likes to read? He told me he loves to read and pointed to the Bhagavad Gita and said: “that book changed my life!” He started telling me that for a long time he was an atheist and wasn’t at all a believer in God but one day somehow or other he got his hands on Srila Prabhupada’s “Bhagavad Gita as it is” through a friend and after reading it he was convinced that God exists. He’s familiar with the Vedas and with Krishna and has wanted to get more of the books. He told me that he was recently traveling and took 3 books with him including the Gita because he loves it so much. So I showed him our set and he was so excited to get it. He also promised to come to our Sunday feast program soon. He’s currently working as a financial accountant at a Bank of America branch in the financial Wall Street district not far from where the Harinam was set up today.
