It was a wonderful day on sankirtan as HG Vaisesika Prabhu returned from the dham after 6 weeks. Just the presence of Prabhu felt so purifying in the most passionate place, Market and Powell street in San Francisco. As Prabhu mentioned it felt like an milk ocean of people and there were some valuable pearls here and there. Everyone was going somewhere and no one was interested in spirituality. But ISV devotees, almost 35 of them including kids were determined to churn the ocean to find those pearls. It was really austere as most of them would say, "No, Thank you". Then, once in a while Lord Chaitanya sent some sincere souls who were looking for spirituality. Devotees would get surcharged again!
Some devotees met a few people who were not looking for spirituality, but were looking for some answers, so they prayed. By mercy of Lord Chaitanya, they met devotees at the Harinaam and got a Gita. It was a great yagna!
ISV kids were very enthusiastic to distribute books and they stayed almost till the end.
All glories to Symalangi mataji and her team who organized this huge Harinaam with massive prasadam distribution. Many homeless got prasadam and the word got out and one homeless called another and all the soup, corn bread and brownies were gone. Unlike every year Harisankirtan Prabhu had to stay late to distribute, this year it was fast and he was happy.
Same with the books, we finished all the books we had by 6:30 pm which is unusual. All glories to the enthusiastic devotees who distributed books with one pointed attention.
