This is Lord Nityananda's work

GNAB: A few randome thoughts today . . .

My heartfelt thanks to Raxit, Sonal, Neil, and Neesha for their selfless service to the Sankirtana movement. I had the opportunity to visit the sacred ground of Sankirtana Central at the Jariwalla's home yesterday on our way out for book distribution. It is one of my favorite places on earth.
Books are the life and soul of the Jariwalla's and they have used the entire space of their garage for many years to carefully keep vaisnava literature and BBT books with the intent to facilitate mass distribution. May Lord Caitanya continue to bless their lives in miraculous ways. My head is at their feet in utter appreciation.

Yesterday, Sri Govinda Datta Prabhu came with me to Sankirtana Central specifically to pick up Vietnamese books.

Dayanidhi Prabhu had picked out some places we could go to find Vietnamese recipients for these rare books, painstakingly translated, printing and shipped to America.

Enthusiastically, Malini, Gandharvika and Puja when to a Vietnamese area and scoped it out before we arrived. They found a small strip mall along Tulley Road that had lots of Vietnamese signs.

We went shop to shop and there and a new world opened to us. The Vietnamese were sweet and very much interested in seeing spiritual books in their own language.

(We sold almost all the books that Raxit gave us!)

One of the first people we met was a lady, the proprietor of a pure drinking water store. She glowed as she looked at the Vietnamese Gita and as we told her what we were doing she was visibly moved. She told us that she'd always desired to go to India.

She bought a Gita and a Vietnamese Perfect Questions Perfect Answer and also offered us a place in her store where we could set up a Smart Box.

Several more devotees joined us as we spent the next couple of hours going shop to shop and each new shop was marked with an exciting adventure.

In one bar/restaurant a young man sitting in a very dark corner bought a Gita. After this, Malini commented, "This is Lord Nityananda's work."

These are just a few quick thought that I woke up with this morning after performing the yajna in association with selfless devotees yesterday. I feel that my life was properly used and I am experiencing happiness in my heart because if it.

****

We are on a very fast pace of service right now and I see that many of you are sacrificing much to make the BVT a big success. Such sincere service will certainly attract the attention of Krsna. May He bless you more and more . . .

Go Go Go!

With deep gratitude,
