Gopal Champu prabhu recalls:
Nice young lady named Amrita from Guyana. She was walking by and I said “Hare Krishna” then she stopped and said “Hare Krishna” back! When she told me that she was Guyanese I told her that I just love Rothi and dahl and she started laughing! She told me that she really loves to read so I showed her our “Sapta” set first. She was telling me that her father recently passed away and ever since she’s been wanting to become more religious and got inspired to start reading the Bhagavad Gita. She really wanted to get all the books and she noticed the Prabhupada Lilamrita set and said: "wow my name is Amrita like in Lilamrita!" So she asked me what that set was about and I explained that it’s the complete biography of Prabhupada our founder acharya and the author of the other set I showed her. She gave a generous donation and was so happy to get both sets.

Amrita from Guyana!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Ashley’s living in the Jersey shore area! She grew up around devotees practically her entire life but she seriously took an active interest in Krishna consciousness when she turned 21 mainly because of her brother Kalpa Vriksa prabhu! He was the one who first brought her to check out the NYC Harinam. She used visit the city for temple programs at the Bhakti center and Brooklyn Radha Govinda mandir but she lives too far now to do that regularly. For the past 3 years she hasn’t had much association of devotees and she now wants to take part in NYC Harinam whenever her schedule allows. She contacted us today to find out where the Harinam location was and she spent four hours chanting! Several years ago she stayed at the old Harinam ashram on Macdougal street in Brooklyn for four days and told me that it was one of the best times of her life! She also told me that she wants to dedicate her next life to doing Harinam every day! Very humble and sincere devotee.

It’s Ashley!

Gopal Champu prabhu recalls:
Very nice lady named Christina from Brooklyn who was shopping in the city with her two kids. I asked her if she likes to read and she told me that she’s actually been thinking about getting into reading more just recently especially about meditation and spirituality! So I told her that’s perfect and I showed her our set then asked her if she knows how many chakras we have and she said 7 so I said that’s right and that’s exactly why we have 7 books in our set! She told me 7 is her lucky number and that she was born on the 7th and she now has 7 kids too! I explained to her what the books are about so she wanted to get them plus she took a “Bhakta stack” to give to a friend of hers as a Christmas gift. She wants to share the books with her kids as well and told me that it’s her wish to teach them spiritual values. She also told me that if she didn’t have all her kids to take care of she would probably be a yogi meditating in the mountains somewhere!

Back home back to Godhead for this family!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
He’s been a scientist most of his adult life specializing in nuclear physics but he told me it drove him a little crazy because he couldn’t get clear answers on the meaning of life! One day a friend of his invited him to visit a Ganesh temple and he had a spiritual awakening of some kind. Then he got a “Bhagavad Gita as it is” and started reading it and thought it’s an amazing book because it answered a lot of his questions on the goal of life and understanding the world. So I showed him the Lilamrita and told him it’s the biography of A.C. Bhaktivedanta swami Prabhupada who translated the “Bhagavad Gita as it is” and wrote the commentaries.

He’s a nuclear physicist!

Really nice young lady from Iran. When I told her that these are books on meditation and how to become peaceful she thanked me. She said that she’s been going through a really hard time lately and she needs the help. Also, I’ve been telling all the people I meet today: “I promise if you take these books with you they’ll solve all the problems in your life otherwise you can bring them back!”
She took an extra “Bhakta stack” to give as a gift to a friend of hers!

She’s a Muslim from Iran!

Kaliya Krishna prabhu recalls:
Really nice gentleman named John from Long Island who just came up to the book table right after we finished setting up the Harinam in Penn station. He told me that he just started reading one of the Upanishads that his girlfriend gave him as a gift. His girlfriend’s actually reading Srila Prabhupada’s “Bhagavad Gita as it is” right now! He took an “Easy journey to other planets” at first because he only had a few dollars in cash but I told him we take credit card. He looked at the “Sapta” set sitting on the book table and asked how much to give for it, he ended up donating $60 so Krishna prasad prabhu came over and gave him a “Bhakta stack” as an extra gift. He works long hours in construction in the city and he was on his way to take the LIRR train back to his house. He told me that he doesn’t have much time to look for a Christmas gift for his girlfriend and this was perfect!

It’s John from Long Island!
