west coast sankirtana

10 years, 6 months ago by aron illo in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Krishna's mercy was flowing this summer on the west coast.  Srila Prabhupada's books were eagerly received from the deserts in arizona through the mountains in california all the way back to texas.

In cloverdale outside the Super 5 we met an old hippie woman with her son.  Both chanted like pros and she recognized the maha mantra from my sweet lord.  while in ukiah we came across an old loadmaster who had flown to india several times.  his wallet was in his had before a donation was mentioned and he gave $20 for his perfection of yoga.

in seattle you couldnt find an american.  it seemed everyone we met was from russia, south america or the far east.  Mishra Bhagavan prabhu really impressed a vietnamese lady with a few phases in her native language. 

even somewhere as remote as central wyoming or utah has the need for Srila's Prabhupada's mercy.   we encountered souls very enlivened and thankful to have had the opportunity.

We always like to end our exchange by give folks a mantra card and asking them to chant with us.  the reponse could be anywhere from total inability to pure ecstasy. 

            HpS - ASA - !!!!!!!!!  They say, that Prabhupada said that every salesman has his own technique. You and the Misra-bhagavan Das are doing incredible service. Not only your personal book distribution but also the example it sets for others!

So many other topics to discuss but a little at a time
