Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Really nice guy named Sam from Maryland. I had met him in New York a while ago while he was passing through town and he bought a few books from me! We had exchanged contact info and he recently sent me this message:
“Hare Krishna Maha! I don’t know if you recall but I had met you in New York in front of the subway while you and the Vaisnavas were chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra. I have a question for you. Where would one who lives in Maryland go to meet a guru? I do have a local Iskcon temple here by my house. However I’m not sure I would find one. Hopefully this message receives you well, Hare Krishna!”
Then I called him back and explained to him how rare and special the human form of life is and quoted verse 11. 20.17 from the Bhagavatam to him: “The human body, which can award all benefit in life, is automatically obtained by the laws of nature, although it is a very rare achievement. This human body can be compared to a perfectly constructed boat having the spiritual master as the captain and the instructions of the Personality of Godhead as favorable winds impelling it on its course. Considering all these advantages, a human being who does not utilize his human life to cross the ocean of material existence must be considered the killer of his own soul.” I also explained that in order to find Guru one must know the instructions of Krishna and the Srimad Bhagavatam is Krishna so he immediately ordered a set from me. He also told me that he’s been chanting Hare Krishna everyday since he received the set!

Really nice devotee named Paulina from San Diego, California. One of her devotee friends made a post on her social media profile (to help us in our online book distribution) letting people know that if they would like to order Srila Prabhupada’s books they could contact me and included my contact info! Then I received a message from Paulina saying that she just gave a donation online through our Harinam website and that she would like us to please send her a “Prabhupada Lilamrita” set to her home address! So of course I responded that we will ship it out to her immediately then she told me that she also would like to get a “Srimad Bhagavatam” set in a few months!

Mahotsaha prabhu recalls:
Shivananda prabhu is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who’s now 74 years old and lives full time at the “Prabhupada village” in North Carolina. He and his wife have been full time pujaris ever since they joined the movement, never accepting any salary and fully depending on Krishna for their maintenance. Srila Prabhupada sent Shivananda prabhu to Germany in 1968 where he opened up the preaching in Germany when he was only 18 years old! He has about 30 letters that Srila Prabhupada addressed to him personally with different personal instructions. Srila Prabhupada addresses him as “My dear son Shivananda Das Brahmacari“ at least in one letter. Both he and his wife Madan Mohan Mohini mataji are very glorious long time devotees and books can be written about them and their preaching endeavors.
“My memories of Srila Prabhupada”
“On Speaking strongly in Srila Prabhupada’s service”
“Who’s supreme?”
Plus “Sri Chanakya Niti” by Patita Pavana das

Gopal Champu prabhu recalls:
Very nice devotee named Ramesh that I met on Harinam in the New York City subway about a year ago. He told me that he’s from Alabama and he’s just passing through New York for a few days but he would like to keep in touch in case he wants some books in the future! I’ve been going through my contact list because we’re only able to do book distribution through the mail and I gave him a call. He’s a medical laboratory scientist mostly doing the testing and diagnosing of patients for the Coronavirus! He was very happy to hear from me and told me that he’s been listening to a lot of Srila Prabhupada’s lectures and reading the Bhagavad Gita daily as well. He’s been taking the time in his life now to really understand the philosophy. I offered him a “Srimad Bhagavatam” set but he said he already has one so I offered him a “Chaitanya Charitamrita” set and he was very interested in getting it. I told him how Srila Prabhupada really liked the “Chaitanya Charitamrita”, how he carried it with him on the Jaladutta on his way to America and how he was getting comfort by reading Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes. I also explained to him how Srila Prabhupada wanted to make this knowledge available to everyone in the world.
He’s a medical laboratory scientist testing people for the Coronavirus!
