Krishna prasad prabhu recalls:
Very sweet pious girl from South Indian. She’s visiting for one year for school studies.
I showed her our set and told her: “We’re giving these books out to all the cultured people especially these Vedas and the Puranas so we can preserve this priceless knowledge and put it in the hands of qualified people like you.”
She told me: “you know I can get the whole set in India for very cheap but I want to get them from you because you’re trying to spread Dharma in the world and I respect that a lot. I really like what you’re all doing here with the chanting and the books.”

Krishna prasad prabhu recalls:
Nice young lady from Guyana. She had a soft heart and she grew up in a family of pious Hindus. I told her these books will make you and your family Gaudiya Vaishnavas and that has nothing to do with piety or impiety but only with pure devotional service unto the transcendent Lord who is praised with transcendental songs. I quoted directly from the Srimad bhagavatam. She took the set to share it with her family.

Krishna prasad prabhu recalls:
This nice lady works for a business firm in midtown Manhattan. She was walking by me fast to go back to work after her lunch break. I was trying to get her to stop so I just chanted Hare Krishna very loud and she turned around! I put the set in her hands and said: “these books are for you! These books are about Krishna, the Supreme Personality Of Godhead!” Then she asked me: “who’s Krishna?” I explained how He’s the most beautiful personality before, during and after the creation! I could tell that she was intrigued and I asked her to please give a donation. She was pious and gladly payed for the set with her credit card.

Krishna prasad prabhu recalls:
This nice lady has been going to the Bhakti center for some time. She really enjoys attending the Thursday night kirtans there. She hasn’t received one of Srila Prabhupadas’ books yet so I showed her our set. I told her that by reading these books she will be able to understand the glories of the Hare Krishna maha mantra and why this chanting is the best thing she could do in her life! She was very interested in reading about the glories of the Holy name and immediately gave me a nice donation and took the set home!

Gopal Champu prabhu recalls:
She was a super sincere and appreciative lady. She’s been wanting to read the “Bhagavad Gita” ever since she was an English student in college, so I showed her our set.
When I told what we asked for as a donation for the set she couldn’t believe it because it’s such a great deal. She used to work for a publishing company and told me she knows that all these books are worth so much more than what we’re asking for. I introduced her to Kavichandra swami and told her he’s been a practicing monk for over 45 years, they spoke for a little while, she was very respectful and honored to meet him. She was very grateful and told me she knows that these books are so special.

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
I was on my way home after Harinam and all of a sudden I saw this pious young Indian lady named Snigda. So I said: “Hare Krishna mataji, do you speak Telugu?” She told she did speak Telugu and she knows Hare Krishna from when she was in Manipal where she used to go to temple and attend the classes. I showed her Srila Prabhupadas’ biography and told her to please take it. She was saying that she’s a pharmacy student and didn’t have much time for reading other books right now. So I told her: “it’s ok just read these books for five minutes everyday, no problem what’s the difficulty?” It was amazing because we ran out of “Saptarishi” sets, all we had left was the “Prabhupada Lilamrita” sets and Krishna sent this nice girl to take one.

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
She was walking by and I said: “wow I really love your energy, you look so special, the most special person I’ve seen so far today. Are you into meditation by any chance?” She told me she likes to meditate so I showed her our set and asked her to please take these beautiful books. I said: “if you don’t take these books who will? You’re so qualified. These books will relieve you from the cycle of birth and death."
She told me it was too much for her to carry but I told her not to worry because we have strong bags for her to carry them in. At first she only gave $3 but I said please give more so she said ok she’ll give $20 then I said just please add another $20 and she agreed. She was paying by credit card so I asked her if she wants to add a tip for the musicians and she added another $8! In the end when she was leaving she smiled and said: “you somehow or other ended up getting the full $50 donation you wanted! I’m looking forward to reading the books.”
