Krishna\u2019s reciprocation.
\nShastrakrit Das: I was flooded with things to do at the temple yesterday ( Sunday ) I forced myself to go out to distribute books at least for a couple of hours.
\nI set up book table out this Indian grocery. An hour and a half went by and only one book was distributed. I was praying like anything for some results since I had to go back to temple for Sunday feast in the next half hour.
\nAll of a sudden an older Indian gentleman and his daughter came to my book table and took little Maha Prasad. They casually asked if I have any Srimad Bhagavatam in Gujarati? I couldn\u2019t believe my ears. <\/p>\n

When I showed him the Prabhupada\u2019s Bhagavatam set he was like \u201coh I don\u2019t want these thick books, I only want the Sanskrit slokas & Gujarati translations. All in just one book, one small book. I don\u2019t want any purports.\u201d<\/p>\n

I explained to him \u201cjust like a mother eats rice, dhal, chapati etc which an infant can\u2019t digest. The food gets transformed into mothers breast milk & the mother feeds that to the infant , the infant can easily digest that. Similarly, Acarya\u2019s headed by Srila Prabhupada have digested this deep message of the Bhagavata Purana & have written purports (commentaries) in such a way we can understand easily .\u201d<\/p>\n

This pious man Kirit heard me out for a while & agreed to buy the Bhavatam set right then he also gave me a donation\/tip for doing good work. <\/p>\n

Anytime I go out on books against all odds Krishna reciprocates even more :) <\/p>\n

By the way, they own an ice cream shop 🍦😁<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Krishna’s reciprocation.

\nAll of a sudden an older Indian gentleman and his daughter came to my book table and took little Maha Prasad. They casually asked if I have any Srimad Bhagavatam in Gujarati? I couldn’t believe my ears. <\/p>\n

When I showed him the Prabhupada’s Bhagavatam set he was like “oh I don’t want these thick books, I only want the Sanskrit slokas & Gujarati translations. All in just one book, one small book. I don’t want any purports.”<\/p>\n

I explained to him “just like a mother eats rice, dhal, chapati etc which an infant can’t digest.
