Christians Get Krishna’s Mercy
by Sastra-krit Dasa (Los Angeles)
I was distributing in downtown LA when two guys walked toward me. They were tall, with long flowing blonde hair, blue eyes, and tight T-shirts. They stopped when I said, "Excuse me. I'm stopping all the really koooool-looking guys today."
After stopping, one of them said with a serious face, looking me straight in the eyes: "You know, we're trying to look like Jesus Christ."
I was disturbed that after a tough day on sankirtan I had run into some born-again Christians. Still, wanting to make the most of the encounter, I said, "It's not so important to look like Jesus; it's more important to follow his teachings strictly."
"As a Hare Krishna," one of them replied, "what's your idea of following Christ strictly?"
