He explained some of the contents, and she enthusiastically took it. Seeing her enthusiasm he invited her to the temple, and a few weeks later she visited. By coincidence, she arrived on the day the devotees were holding a book distribution seminar. Seeing her come as a result of having received a book, Acala Dasa praised her sincerity: \u201cKrishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, \u2018Out of many thousands of people, one may inquire into the Absolute Truth.\u2019 \u201d Speaking to the devotees he added, \u201cHere we have this nice woman coming to inquire about the Absolute Truth. She is not ordinary.\u201d The woman was touched by Acala\u2019s kind words and stayed for the entire seminar.<br \/>\nA year later Acala was on a plane to India. He was seated next to a woman who, after a few moments, asked, \u201cDo you remember me?\u201d He looked at her and said, \u201cNo, I am sorry, I don\u2019t.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou gave me a book in Moscow. I then visited your temple and you spoke some kind words about me. After reading that book and associating with devotees, I myself have become a devotee. I am on my way to the Mayapur festival.\u201d Acala then remembered her and was pleased to know that she had become a devotee.<br \/>\nAfter the Mayapur festival this same woman was on a train to Vrindavan. There she met another Russian devotee, whose service it was to do book distribution in India. This devotee offered to teach the woman how to distribute books. Because she knew of the importance of book distribution from hearing about it on her first visit to the temple, she accepted some lessons from him. She had such a nice experience on the train distributing Prabhupada\u2019s books that when she returned to Russia she continued to distribute them.
