College Preaching Success
Thank you, Vijaya prabhu, for the wonderful service of churning and sending out the sankirtan nectar. The following is a recent response from a student in Boulder. We recently met with him for a couple of days, upon returning to Colorado. He is already organizing a Krishna conscious club on campus. It is inspiring to see Srila Prabhupada's words penetrating the hearts of these sincere seekers.
Your servant and friend, Tusta Krsna das
Letter from this student:
Hey Tusta,
This is Marlin, the guy you met on the Boulder campus. Wow. I am half-way through The Jouney of Self-discovery. So far it has amazed me. Nearly all the things I had begun to see over the past year are brought up in the book straight to the point. I am really starting to believe in Krsna consciousness. I have been meditating, using the Hare Krsna mantra and holding the beads in my hand while I chant. I want to read Bhagavad-gita after I finish reading this book. I have so many questions, but I will read Bhagavad-gita first. I'm sure the answers are in there. The way I had been looking at the world before, as us being a bunch of two-legged apes with no idea of what we are, was true. But reading this book really confirmed what I was seeing. We are a society of foolish animals stuck on our need to serve our sensual pleasures, with no idea that there is something more to life than that. Before I knew that we were slaves to our sensual pleasures, but I wasn't sure about what was something greater than this. Now I believe that it is Krsna who is God. People truly are slaves and puppets in this world. Now when I walk outside I don't see humans anymore, but animals that can talk. Animals that are confused, and animals that are lost.
