jagatpurush Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 http://blog.worldsankirtan.net/vijaya/index.php?cat=1 Dear devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to his disciples. Lila Madhava das, from Argentina, told me a far out story recently in Mayapur. He distributes books in Barcelona, Spain. For one entire month, he told me, he was distributing on a specific street, at a particular intersection. Everyday he would try to stop the same young lady, who would refuse to give him any attention. One day, he walked with her a few meters, pleading with her in a friendly way, “Come one! Just take one book!” Pointing to the “Teachings of Queen Kunti,” he said, “Here; take the teachings of the Queen!” But to no avail; she would not stop. However, the very next day, she humbly returned and asked him, “Can I buy the ‘Teachings of Queen Kunti?” Surprised, he replied, “How did you know the name of the Queen?” Indeed, Lila Madhava clearly remembered not having told her Queen Kunti’s name and having only mentionned the words, “The Queen.” But here was this young lady, asking for the teachings of Queen KUNTI. She replied, “Actually, I had a dream of this queen Kunti last night. She told me, “Go buy my book from that man.” Queen Kunti ki jay! Lila Madhava Prabhu was astonished, but he persisted, “Look, if you give a little bit more of a donation, I’ll give you a gift.” Trusting him, she gave more laxmi. He in turn gave her the Bhagavad Gita. When she saw it, she exlaimed, “The Bhagavad Gita! I can’t believe it! My boyfriend has been telling me about this book for a whole year!” By then, Lila Madhava showed her all the books he had. She gave even more laxmi, and ended up buying his entire selection. Book distribution is mystical. Your respectful servant, Candrasekhar acarya das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
