\u201cHarree Kreesshhna, please give me some Arabic books\u201d
\nI was rushing through the back streets of Campsie (Sydney) on my return visit to the town after a frustrating search for a parking spot.
\nThere was an elderly Middle Eastern gentleman on the bus-stop seat of an isolated street. I was about to walk past him. But something in me said: I know there will be no chance of him understanding Krishna, but the point is, \u201cthe more you ask the more you sell.\u201d
\nHe was shaking from Parkinson\u2019s Disease and could hardly speak, but mumbled something in reply. I suppose he was asking me to get lost. But no!
\nI put my ears close to his mouth and heard him say \u201cHarree Kreesshhna, please give me some Arabic books\u201d Until he repeated this a second time, I couldn\u2019t believe this was actually happening.
\nI asked \u201cOh, wow! How do you know about Krishna?\u201d
\nHe responded, \u201cI think all the prophets that came to this world were sent by Him and ultimate returned back to Krishna. I read a lot of books, some of which specifically demonstrated some missing years in Christ\u2019s life, and that during those years he was practicing mystic yoga in the Himalayas. Well, you know, in those days greater India was not divided by so much fruitive demigod worship. There was just one God, and He was Krishna. All the scriptures say that. So it can\u2019t be hard to guess who Jesus was praying to for mystic sidhis.\u201d
\nAt this point, in my mind I was flat on the ground begging him to be my siksha guru. Thanks to a FEME consignment, I had plenty of Arabic books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
