Bhaktin Chloe and Radha Kripa Mayi distribute books at a college in Los Angeles.

At Santa Monica college a woman greeted me and asked if I was there
for “Career Day.” I said no, thank you, I was probably not on her list.
I set up my book table about twenty feet away from where I usually
would. My usual spot was filled with tables representing the Army, Navy,
Police Dept., Fire Dept., Nurses, Teachers, National Guard, Sony
Studios, etc.

I was overwhelmed because they were everywhere but I was glad I had a
lot of BTG’s with me which had pictures of devotees doing Harinama
sankirtana. A nice flow of kids kept coming to my table and I
distributed the books and got donations for them easily. They asked if
this was a career. I said, sure, and I showed them the
Harinama pictures. I said, “We are offering for you to become a Hare
Krishna monk.” They loved it. I told them about kirtan and following the
four regulative principles. So Prabhupada’s mercy was available on
Career Day.

One older professor came by and pointed at my pictures of the Harinama
and said, “I get kids all the time now who come here and they don’t even
have basic English skills. Society is going to hell. I say they should
all do this. It would be the very best thing for them!” He started
repeating this to the kids who were at the table, that they should take
this up. He had met Srila Prabhupada in Haight Ashbury in the sixties.

At another school I met a Yoga professor who apologized to me as
soon as he came to my temple. “I am sorry, you know, I teach yoga here
but I can never teach them anything spiritual because I am a part of
the Physical Education Dept. I’m so glad you are here doing this.” He
bought a book. He said he eats at Govinda’s.
