A Birmingham book distributor\u2019s story:
\nBook distribution around the coastline of Bournemouth and Poole Harbour was something I\u2019d been wanting to do for a long time. I appreciate the British coastline \u2013 it\u2019s so beautiful and peaceful. Every time I visit this coast, I ask myself, why isn\u2019t there an ISKCON centre anywhere near this beautiful beach? I guess nobody there has ever read Krishna conscious books by Srila Prabhupada. So, I followed my heart and decided to distribute books around the coast of Bournemouth and Sandbanks beach. I prayed that at least one fortunate soul would take a book and read it. I really thought it would be a difficult task to distribute Prabhupada\u2019s books there, but I was amazed by the number of people who accepted the books. It was easier to talk to the holidaymakers as they weren\u2019t in such a rush to get anywhere and they were a bit more relaxed \u2013 some people were happy to talk and hear about the books, while others just looked through the books. One person was really fascinated by the pictures in The Science of Self-Realization and wanted to learn more. Some people took at least one or two books and gave a donation. So, in four days I distributed 32 books. It was a challenge, but I knew I wasn\u2019t on my own. The few people who took books were definitely in search of some spiritual knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
