An Angel in Disguise.
Sukhayanti Devi Dasi: I guess angels come in all forms and shapes and may appear in the least expected places and circumstances. When I think of angels, I imagine those beautiful, magical figures with wings, sent by God to Earth for some divine purpose. Well, my angel did not have any wings and I cannot remember if she was beautiful or not as her physical appearance was of little significance.

Shastrakrit Das: Now this one is worth sharing. This lady walked up to my book table and asked if I have any books on Moksha (liberation).
