All glories to Srimad Bhagavad Gita!
cosmir
Jayanti
day. We are much obliged for their wonderful association here in
Ujjain. In
one of his classes, HG Dvarkadhish Prabhu narrated an incident that
recently
happened in Bombay. This incident is a very influential example to see
how
mankind is finally reaping the benefits of all Srila Prabhupadaês hard
work.
About a week before Gita Jayanti, one devotee in Bombay went out to
distribute
Srimad Bhagavad Gita. At one place, he knocked the door but no one
replied. He
did not give up and again knocked the door, still it was unanswered.
With firm
determination to distribute Bhagavad Gita, he again knocked with a
much
greater force. At this time a lady angrily opened the door and
shouted,
"What do you want? I am very busy with important work" and tried to
close the
door. But as she was closing the door this devotee put his foot
between the
door in such a way that she could not close it and he immediately put
Bhagavad
Gita in her hand. Just by touching Srimad Bhagavad Gita, this lady
felt relaxed
and calmed down. Then she enquired from the devotee about Bhagavad
Gita and he
explained to her the difference between the body and the soul
according to
chapter two. She then told the devotee that the "important work" she
was busy ,
with was to commit suicide. She showed him the table, the fan and the
rope
hanging from the fan. It was only by the mercy of Sri Krsna and his
devotee
that she was saved from such a dangerous situation. Now she is a
devotee and is
associated with ISKCON temple in Bombay.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada's book distribution. All glories to
Srila
Prabhupada!
Your humble servant,
