Utsaha in the Better Half
Not to be left behind, the mataji's spearheaded by MadhuPriya Mataji were some of the most active book-distributors during the last marathon. On many occasions, scenting an opportunity, they grabbed the initiative from their better halves and not surprisingly have awe-inspiring stories to narrate.
Madhu Priya Mataji had a simple and effective formula. She would always carry Bhagavad-Gita with her each time she stepped out of her house. Coming down and going up the elevator to her 10th floor residence, she never lost a chance to preach and show books to whoever was in the lift. The unsuspecting residents of the building, cornered in this cubbyhole of a lift, were simply wonderstruck at the simple but terse message that she persuasively conveyed in just a few seconds. Her cogent pleas compelled them to take a book. In this brief half a minute sojourn in the lift, she would unfailingly distribute 2 – 3 Bhagavad-Gita's each time she went out, thereby transmitting Srila Prabhupad's mercy in a unique way.
