Couple of weeks back when we were distributing books at Fremont Hindu temple, we met an Indian lady (from Stockton) who
expressed interest in Bhagavad Gita(for her son), but did not take the take book because she did not have cash with her.
After following up with her, we were able to go to her house today. We kept a few other books - just in case.
We found that she had twin sons - one of them was spiritually inclined and other was not. So we gave the 'Bhagavad Gita' to one,
'Beyond Illusion and Doubt' to the other and 'The higher taste of India' to the mom. All were very happy. The kids were very
inclined and they curiously asked about each picture in the BG- including significance of each avatars- I had forgotten about the Vaman avatar story and Khyati came to my rescue :). We spent almost an hour discussing. This has been a nice experience.
One of Khyati's college(Bengali) friend saw Bhagavad Gita in car and took both soft bound and hard bound BG. After a week, she said she is
happy for getting the book, esp. that the book has a 'bengali' touch to it and would like to visit the temple soon.

niral and khyati
