14th September 2025, Pirangut- Maharashtra (IN):
I would like to reflect on the wonderful day we had yesterday, surrounded by the association of devotees. It was truly special, and we are filled with gratitude for each one who participated physically and through various services in the backend like cooking , logistic and praying for the group . While we will release the full score later after settlement, I am delighted to share that we distributed roughly *250+ books, including 175 MBBs. *Srila Prabhupada every time bless us to associate with new devotees, and yesterday was particularly special as we welcomed many new devotees in our bus sankirtan yatra.
I would like to extend a special mention to HG Rasavilas Prabhu, Grace Sundari Gopi Mataji, and their lovely daughters. They joined us with great enthusiasm, and Mataji even took a Bhagavad Gita class for the young kids , entire family performed kirtan on road etc. Their family truly embodied the spirit of joyful devotion (Su-Sukham as defined in BG 9.2), keeping the mood light and joyful throughout the journey. We even played Antakshri on verses from different scriptures on the bus for the first time, which was a delightful experience.
We also had the pleasure of having two young volunteers from the Bhagavad Gita class, Onkar Pawar Prabhu and Sunny Adak Prabhu for the first time . Their enthusiasm was infectious, and they distributed books as if they had been doing it for years. Onkar Prabhu's dedication was evident when he convinced a Mataji who was about to leave empty-handed to take Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita, and she, in turn, convinced another passerby to take the Bhagavad Gita. Thank you, Prabhuji, for your invaluable contribution.
Additionally, we were joined by HG Rewati Ishwari Mataji for the first time, and she was another stalwart in yesterday's marathon distribution. Along with Snehal Mataji, they distributed around 35-40 MBBs . SHE convinced the chairman of a large society (Trade Mark) to grant us permission for distribution. Thank you, Mataji, for your association and incredible efforts through out the day . Perhaps we can also convince offline the chairman of the Navyangan society to allow us to distribute there as well for next time.
Thank you all for joining us . We look forward to many more such joyful associations in the future.
Your servant
Amit
