Usually, I distribute books while it&#8217;s going on. Recently, when the harinama was already approaching the end, in my bag were left six books: three big and three small, all with the same title. I started intensely praying to distribute all the books, but I was so unsuccessful that couldn&#8217;t distribute even one. Finally, the whole harinama party came to our bus to leave, and I looked around in the hope of seeing someone who could take at least one more book.<\/p>\n<p>\n    I saw a car with a husband and wife inside. With a big smile, I approached them and showed the Journey of Self Discovery. The wife became interested, but she still didn&#8217;t have the desire to buy the book.<\/p>\n<p>\n    Then within myself I approached Krishna and asked, \u201cWhy should I take These books back to the temple? Instead, I want to give them to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n    At the exact same moment, she asked me how much for the book.<\/p>\n<p>\n    I told her the cost of book, and when she was ready to give me a donation, I asked her, \u201cWhy are you taking only one? You can take all the rest of my books? Six of them!<\/p>\n<p>\n    She responded, \u201cBut they are all the same title \u2013 what is the use?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n    \u201cYou can give them your friends and relatives,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n<p>\n    She seemed confused, but suddenly, with a smile on her face, said, \u201cGive me all your books. Something inside me is advising me buy these books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n    And she gave me an appropriate donation for six books. It was an amazing experience of how Krishna can fulfill a desire to encourage his devotee.<\/p>\n<p>\n    Your servant,<br \/>\n    Vaninath Vasu Dasa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bhagavad Gita As it is\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iskconbookdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/In-the-Navi-Mumbai-station.jpg\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 300px;\">Every Sunday, we do harinama at the same market place in Minsk, Belarus, for two hours.
