ISKCON Book Distribution Stories - 1

One day when we were going to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books we had to board ISKCON book distribution vehicle and we left the temple by 9:30 in the morning to a place nearby to the temple in BANGALORE.

We reached there by 10:00 in the morning and by the time we setup the stall it was 10:30.

Then we held some small books in hand and started to call out people who passed by as it was next to the bus stop, lot of passers by were to be found which made me feel I could sell as many books a possible without even having any experience before I set out in the world alone though a dedicated devotee was along with us.

After the tedious sun rays hit my had I felt I could no longer withstand the heat and neither did I sell a single book till then.

It was already half a day passed by and the devotee asked me to have prasadam which I did without asking a single question but I was all along thinking how could I sell more books?

This thing struck me as the devotee was easily selling books without any problems and lots of people passing by I had practically no idea how about to go with the sales.

I kept on watching Srila Prabhupada's face on the vehicle and feared that he may feel bad so I had to shout and run along with marketong ideas and hold Bagawad Gita As it is and issue offers. Some how or other distribute the books and please Prabhupada.

As the day passed to evening I stood only looking at the devotee's face who was simply distributing books upon books and I was practically doing here one there one.

Finally I had to pleade Prabhupada and Sri Krishna in mind to help me out to atleast distribute some books.

Some hope signs arrived in the night as there were so many people than I had imagined, it was here I thought that I have got to do something.

No hope arrived as it was just my first day in book distribution. I could barely sell some books and as time approached we had to packup and return back to temple ISKCON BANGALORE by boarding the vehicle back.
