Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
After the Harinam was finished we were packing up and I saw this nice gentleman walking by with a box in his hands and I asked him what’s in the box? He looked at me and told me there was nothing in the box, it’s empty! He was explaining how he’s an artist and got the box to paint on it. I told him that he sounds like a creative guy and showed him our set. I told him that these books are about the black God who’s also the most creative artist of all the artists combined. He was in a good mood and was interested in reading spiritual books so he took the set and gave a nice donation.

Bhakta Gaurav recalls:
I saw this young lady looking curiously at the Harinam party so I went up to her and asked her if she meditates. She told me that someone recently gave her a small book (Beyond birth and death) and she was looking for him so she can get more books! I think it was Gopal Champu prabhu but he’s traveling in Indian at the moment so Kalki prabhu and I showed her our “Saptarishi” set. It turns out she is a brilliant graduate student in psychology and really loves reading. She gave a generous donation for the set and Kalki Prabhu gave her a bag to carry them! 😊

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Nice young lady from New Jersey.
She walked by the Harinam and I told her that she looks so spiritual. I asked her if she likes meditation and she told me that she wants to learn more about spiritual things. She’s a student and loves to read so I showed her our set and explained about the chakras and why we have 7 books in the set for the 7 chakras. She thought that was cool.
I also told her about the great minds who have read the Vedas including Albert Einstein and Gandhi. She was interested but she was looking around a lot and told me she’s expecting her friends to meet her any minute. So I did my best to quickly ask her for a donation before her friends distract her or worse take her away before she gets the books. Luckily it all worked out and she was happy to take the set home with her.

Ananda prabhu recalls:
Real nice guy named Julien. He’s 19 years old and goes to a Jazz school here in New York City. He moved here from Los Angeles last year. He’s actually been appreciating the Harinam for some time whenever he goes to take the subway from Union square he stops and listens to the kirtan from a distance. I asked him why he didn’t stop to talk to us sooner! He was telling me that he’s recently getting into spiritual knowledge so I showed him our set and told him the books have all the spiritual knowledge he will ever need. I explained how the books expand our vision beyond the material world and cover topics like Karma, the soul and the Supersoul. He told me that he’s on a drug cleanse now mainly from weed and he really wants to be more spiritual. He wants to bring some instruments and join the Harinam for a few hours in the next few days. He wants to come visit our ashram for the Sunday feast too.

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Nice lady named Kafunia from Brooklyn.
Believe it or not six years ago there was a spiritual African tribe that I had met up with for a collective spiritual experience. She was like the main shaman of the group and she was giving me some spiritual advice. I met them through a friend of mine named Sterling. It was an interesting experience and she gave me some useful spiritual advice at the time. She was surprised to see me dressed as a Hare Krishna monk and distributing books in Union square park. I was happy to see her after all these years so I showed her our set. She gave a generous donation for the books right away. She wants to share the books with her friends in the group. I was glad Krishna gave me the chance to reciprocate with her by giving her Krishna consciousness.

The mother came by the Harinam last week but we didn’t have any Japanese books left that day. She told me she will come back again to see us. Today she came with her entire family and they took 3 Japanese books with them.

Comment by Satyanarayana prabhu:
Jaya!! This is so wonderful, they were so determined to understand what was touching their hearts so deeply that they had to come back. What a wonderful photo. Arigato!!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Really friendly couple visiting New York from London.
When I first saw them I told the guy that he looks like Thor from the comic books! He laughed and his girlfriend said: “yes he does look like Thor doesn’t he!”
When they told me they’re from London I said it definitely sounds like it, that made them laugh. I asked them if they’re into meditation and spirituality? They both said that they’re spiritual people in general but they want to know more.
I asked him if he’s heard of the Chakras before but he said no so I said that’s good it will only confuse him! I showed them our set and told them to please take the set because everything they need in their life is in the books. He reached into his bag to get some money from his wallet and I asked him: “Do you have a hammer in there?” They both laughed.

Thor from London gets the mercy!
