After spending some time in Katikati and meeting a special soul in Auckland, I headed across the sea to do sankirtana in Sydney with our exalted Godsiblings Kamala and Radhika Prasad, who centre their whole family life around book distribution. Seeking to learn their secrets and inspired by their association, we met wonderful people while going door-to-door.
When one lady opened her door, we handed her the Bhagavad-gita and tears immediately came to her eyes. She said that just last night she had had a profound dream she needed the Bhagavad-gita, and had been praying she could receive a genuine edition but had no idea how. So when she opened the door and we handed her a Gita As It Is, she was blown away with emotion– her prayer had been miraculously answered.
She invited us into her home, nicely served us drinks, asked us questions with her husband, and ended up taking about ten books for her whole family.
She said her youngest son had just started working and had given his parents his first paycheck. So she left the room and came back with a wad of cash and gave it all to us.
“I want to give this all to you for these books,” she said, “so that my son will be blessed.”
