The Adventures of Full Set Distribution
by Guru Dasa (Mumbai)
We are trying to distribute Srimad-Bhagavatam sets, and so we carry them to every home. And by Srila Prabhupada's mercy we have distributed many full sets following the policy of "the more you show, the more you sell." While doing this we have met with some nice people.
We entered one home and soon came to know that it belonged to a police inspector. The host invited us into his living room and offered us a seat, and as soon as he saw that we were selling the Bhagavatam sets he brought out a few of Srila Prabhupada's books he had purchased from our devotees while on a train from Mumbai to Valsad. He said that he had read many books but only Srila Prabhupada's present the truth about the cheating of modern civilization. He especially liked "Life Comes from Life." He said this book had smashed modern so-called scientists by pointing out their cheating. He purchased a full set of Srimad-Bhagavatams and said studying the books would be a lifetime engagement for him.
Another time we entered a house that looked like an ashram. Soon we came to know that it was an ashram of the Swami Narayana sect, a bogus Mayavadi apasampradaya based in Gujarat. Two so-called sadhus lived there. We presented the Srimad-Bhagavatam set to them and, after discussing among themselves, they purchased a set for the ashram.
