\nThis is *Mohammed Khalil* He was rushing to catch his UBER when he zoomed past us at Tambaram Railway Station in Chennai where we were distributing Bhagavad Geeta. A devotee shouted *Hare Krsna* right in his ear when he was passing by us. Fast forward 2 minutes he came back and asked me to give 2 copies of Bhagavad Geeta one in Tamil and one in English. Gave donation and got lost in the peak hour crowd. We never know who will take the mercy. *Hare Krsna* <\/p>\n

\nThis is *Mohammed Imran* basically from Araria District of Bihar province. We were relaxing soon after a stream of people passed by us outside a Underpass on *Park Town* railway station. There was hardly any crowd. Young Krsna in pic was standing near stairs of underpass. Soon after *Imran* came out of the underpass I saw him from far he was coming as if we didnt exist. He came near me I saw him and gave him a smile by saying *Hare Krsna* he smiled back and went past me. I followed him from behind put my hand on his shoulder and told him *Bismillahe rehmane rahim*(In the name of God who is merciful and compassionate) bhajan. And started to walk with him with my hand on his shoulder. I told take this Bhagavad Geeta which is spoken by the same Allah whom you offer namaz. He thought for a moment smiled back and said ok give me one in *Hindi*. We both walked back to the bookstall and gave him a copy. He gave a donation and asked for a cloth to cover the book. Only Krsna knows what plan He has in place.<\/p>\n

\nThis is *Mr. Mohammed*. I was standing near a Hot Chips shop in PTC quarter bus stop when he came quietly and parked his heavily loaded two-wheelers just next to me. I turned back and saw him with some skepticism and ignored him. He went ahead with his work. I felt bad within for having a pre concocted notion and also felt Krsna is within everyone’s heart as Paramatma. After 5 minutes he came back this time I was alert and the moment he arrived I looked in his eyes and told him *How are you Bhaijaan* ?? This was the icebreaker being very formal he replied formally. To move the conversation further I asked him what he was up to he replied he sells sweet to various shops. I asked him how many he told 30-40 shop each day. I asked how do you find time to offer *Namaz* he said he offers 5 times a day without fail in between all the hectic schedule.I acknowledged him and asked what about *Jakat* (charity) he said he does it. He asked what are you up to I said trying to serve the same Lord whom you offer Namaz 5 times a day.<\/p>\n
Then he excused me and came back with a cup of Tea to offer me. I politely refused. I asked him what is your Son up-to he said his Son and Daughter both are Teacher in *Madarsaa* and including him devout Muslims offering Namaz 5 times a day.<\/p>\n
Now he was open and asked me whether Bhagavad Geeta which I was holding the same as Quran and bible for Hindus. I said Hindus are not confined to only one book of knowledge but we have encyclopedia starting from 4 Vedas, Puranas, Itihas, etc but Bhagavad Geeta is the essence of all of them and that’s why I was distributing it. He nodded and said what about Manu Smriti?? I explained to him the 4 Varna, 4 ashramas and how varna is decided based on guna and karma and not by Birth.<\/p>\n
He went a step further regarding Form and formless perception of Lord. I explained the difference and also introduced the Parmatma feature to him and told that Vedas have understanding and coverage of all the 3 ways supreme can be known based on the level one have. He asked me my phone number and took my photo and told I want to ask further questions and he was satisfied.<\/p>\n
Now I asked him why doesn’t he take the copy from where my knowledge was coming for which he happily gave a donation and took the Bhagavad Geeta copy. Now it was my turn to ask a photo with him for which he obliged.<\/p>\n
