two Bulgarian Bhagavatam sets

[Vijaya Baladeva das]

We had a nice experience distributing books on Janmastami -- in Varna,
a city in Bulgaria. Just for two hours, before cooking for the
festival, we
went on sankirtana, door to door.

In one office a lady just looked at the Srimad-Bhagavatam and said,
"Wow, it
is the Srimad-Bhagavatam. I love to read the Bhagavad-gita."

I offered her three volumes and explained that we have six more.

"Please, please bring them also."

I ran to the caravan and brought them. She was so HAPPY. She gave a
nice
donation, and I explained that this was the very auspicious birth
anniversary of Lord Krishna. I invited her to the festival, but she
was very
busy that day.

A few days later, Padmamalini Dasi met a man from a Muslim family who
had
the Bhagavad-gita. After reading it, he began using a mala to chant
the
maha-mantra. Every day he chants four or five rounds, and he has been
doing
this a few years. He also very happily took nine volumes of the
Bhagavatam.

The devotees are everywhere!

Your servant,
