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,
