Met Chance by Chance Today!
\nDanakeli Dasi: Krishna has blessed us with a good spot for our book table in downtown San Antonio, TX, for the days leading up to Christmas\u2014right outside a three-story mall on a busy walkway.<\/p>\n

We had just 10 minutes remaining to our day when a nice young man happily approached our table, saying, \u201cI was hoping I\u2019d find you guys out here.\u201d His name is Chance, & he has an interesting story.<\/p>\n

When Chance was a student at TX State Univ. a few years ago, he approached the trash basket in the cafeteria to deposit something. On the lid of the container sat a copy of \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da\u2019s \u201cScience of Self-realization,\u201d so he took it. He read it & appreciated the teachings so much that he ordered a copy of Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 As It Is & later purchased the first volume of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam from a bookstore. He\u2019s now vegetarian & tries to chant Hare Krishna a little, though he wasn\u2019t sure of the proper pronunciation.<\/p>\n

We gave him KRSNA Book, japa beads & an invitation to the local center, which he enthusiastically promised to visit soon.<\/p>\n

Jaya \u015ar\u012bla Prabhup\u0101da!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
