This is about how the biggest book distributor in the USA, Bhakta Jaya Khush, came to Krsna consciousness. At his tenth birthday party, someone gave him as a present: Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita As It Is. At the time he thought, “Who has the nerve to give me a book for my birthday?”<\/p>\n
Ten years later, he’s a music producer traveling around with a famous musician. This musician is quoting the Bhagavad Gita to Jay Khush, who’s shocked that a famous African-American is quoting the book of his religion to him (he was born a Hindu) and knows it better than him.<\/p>\n
That made him curious, so when he went home after a tour he decided to read it, and he found out that the present he received was the best present he ever received. He started visiting the Radha-Raman Temple, an hour away from the Los Angeles temple. Every morning he would go to mangal-arati for six months.<\/p>\n
It would just be him and the pujari. Then after six months the pujari said to him, “You can’t come here anymore.”<\/p>\n
He was shocked, and asked, “Why can’t I come? Did I commit some offense?”<\/p>\n
The pujari said, “No, now it’s time for the next level. You have to go to the Los Angeles temple, where you can be trained.”<\/p>\n
He did that and jumped right into book distribution, and now he is the No. 1 book distributor in the country.<\/p>\n
