Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
I stopped this nice couple and asked the lady if she likes yoga by any chance? She told me she’s been practicing yoga for years and loves it. I showed her our set and explained how the books are actually yoga scriptures. I asked her to read them and apply them in her life. I said: “Please take the books and you will become a yoga master. Great people like Muhammad Ali, Tupac Shakur and Gandhi read the Gita and took guidance from it.”
She opened her wallet and she had an Om picture on it and a Buddha picture on the other side as well. So I turned to the boyfriend and said: “you’re very lucky to have a spiritual girlfriend like her. Better get ready because she’s going to teach you some serious yoga.”
She asked me about Kama or if any of the books teach about things like the Kama sutra so I opened the Gita and read her verse 7.11:
“I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bhāratas [Arjuna].”😃
She really wanted the set but didn’t have enough money on her to cover the full cost but then her boyfriend offered to pay the difference so she could have the set.

Wonderful and friendly family visiting New York City on the 4th of July. They are quite familiar with Iskcon and have frequented many Hare Krishna temples in India. They were happy to run into the Harinam. They all came over to say hello and received prasadam cookies. The father gave a very generous donation so I just gave the entire “Mahat tattva” set. After I put the sets in two separate bags, the daughter insisted on carrying one of them even though her father said it might be a little heavy for her.

This nice Indian family get the mercy!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Bhakta Euron saw this nice guy approaching the Harinam and he told me: “hey this guy looks cool let’s go talk to him.” So I went over with a set and we both stopped him. He was happy to see us and immediately showed us his tattoo of Krishna playing the flute. He received a book from devotees a few years ago and got inspired to get a tattoo to glorify Krishna. He loves to read spiritual books and was happy to get the set. He told me he might get more inspiration with these new books for another tattoo of Krishna! He sat in the kirtan with us and we gave him some prasadam too. It’s really amazing how Krishna sends all this nice people to take Srila Prabhupada’s books.

 After reading one of Srila Prabhupada’s books, he got this Krishna tattoo!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
I approached the husband and told him that I love his tattoos they look super cool on him. The wife told me that she already has a copy of the “Srimad bhagavatam” first canto that she received from me a few years ago. She really liked reading it so I didn’t hesitate and told her she should take the rest of the set. She was very interested in reading more about Krishna consciousness. I told her she can also share the extra copy of the bhagavatam with a friend of hers and get spiritual benefit for distributing the knowledge.

Back home back to Godhead for this family!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
These two nice Indian gentlemen are good friends, they were walking by the Harinam so I stopped them. I saw that one of them had an NYU stern business school hat on and I asked him if he’s a teacher there. He told me his son goes there and he gave it to him as a present. So I said: “please take a look at this wonderful set of books we’re sharing with intelligent people like you. These will make a perfect house warming present for your son, he can definitely benefit from reading them. It will help his spiritual education also. You owe it to your son to give him this special gift.”

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
I just arrived to the Harinam and I saw her watching and listening to the kirtan. She was riding on her scooter but she stopped because it reminded her of India. She returned a few days ago from a month long trip to India where she was on a spiritual quest.
I asked her if she wears her beads for meditation or decoration?
She told me that she’s been meditating for the past 12 years and really likes practicing yoga as well. She takes it seriously. I showed her our set and said: “These books are for you please take them and apply them in your life. This is the king of all knowledge.” She was very grateful and took the set.

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
She was a really nice lady. I asked where she was from and she told me that she’s from Massachusetts! I told her that I’m from India and she welcomed me to Boston! I was surprised how nice the people in Boston are compared to New York City. She listened to me as I explained to her about the books in the set. I told her she looks like a smart girl at least smarter than me! I continued telling her that some of the greatest minds in history have read about Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita like Albert Einstein, Emerson and Thoreau. She was very interested and humbly gave a donation for the set.
