Sankirtan stories

Croatia

One story from Zagreb, I stopped one young man and he told me he is a street performer, he only has 10 euro and he needs for the food. I was trying to convince him to give a few euros as a donation for a book and telling him things like "the more you give the more you get". Right as I was explaining this, one person came out of the blue, gave me 2 lemmons and disappeared. Then the street artist said "that proves your point". So he gave a donation and took a book.

Turin

I approach a beauty shop and I notice that the left side of the window is completely broken and a girl is picking up all the glass shards on the floor. Usually in a situation like this it is very difficult to approach someone who has suffered such discomfort in the right way and receive a nice welcome. So I try soberly to address the owner sitting behind the counter and she immediately shows herself very willing to see the books. Then she decides to take one on Karma and kindly thanks me for my visit.
This is an example of "faith", understanding that for everything that happens to us there is a higher plan, and learning to abandon ourselves to this destiny by accepting it as a tool to progress more and more in our life

Slovenia

We were at the Slovenian coast and I saw this girl from the front. There was not much unusual about her but I thought to use the "yoga teacher" mantra anyway. Something like "Excuse me, are you a yoga teacher?" HG Mahotsaha prabhu says that this is the only mantra that actually works. She told me she is practicing yoga so I just handed her the Bhagavad Gita and asked for a donation. She gave a donation and then she showed me the chakras tatooed on her back. Seems like Paramatma told me this is the right time to use this mantra.
As a side, I also use the master with groups of guys. I give everyone a book and pick the chubby one and tell him "this is on yoga, you look like a yoga master". Everyone starts laughing so they are more prone to take books after.

Just another story...

Krishna is very responsive! As you can kind of see in the photo I was getting ready to leave and this sweet family ( brother and sister ) came with excitement asking if I have a Bhagavatam set. The brother narrated this amazing incident how couple of years back they got a Bhagavatam set from me and on the drive back to Alabama from Atlanta their van got crushed by a 18 wheeler truck and the whole family walked away without a scratch and the bhagavatam box was also didn’t get damaged in the collision. He is completely convinced that these books saved them that day. So when Bhavesh saw me he brought his sister to get a full set from me this evening.
