They enthusiastically took books and wished us well. Many stood and smilingly gazed at the harinaam team, probably thinking that this trip to the beach was definitely unique!<br \/>\nAfter sometime, the sankirtan party and the book distributors moved on towards Brighton pier. This was a perfect opportunity to meet more people along the way and spread the mercy. Many onlookers danced to the kirtan.<br \/>\nAs with all the MSFs, the children were encouraged to distribute books and many of them managed to do so successfully. They had a really fun time distributing books, playing on the beach and enjoying the coach ride. 245 books were distributed in less than 3 hours!<br \/>\nOn the way back, we shared realisations and experiences. We all agreed what a fun day it had been, albeit short, and the highlight was that we had all been an instrument in helping many souls begin their journey towards Krishna. No doubt more trips like this will be planned in the future, so watch this space and it\u2019ll be great to have you on board next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/76a3f2e68424cece2fe2097980bf5b94\/tumblr_pduyxgKGHv1sbj0vuo1_500.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Sixty book distributors in a mission to Brighton, UK (Album of photos)<br \/>\nOn Saturday we made an exciting trip to the seaside town of Brighton!
