*Singing and dancing book racks*

Valentines day was coming up and we thought it would be a fun idea to give

“The Way of Love” book for free whilst on Harinama. We asked Vasanti didi if

that would be ok and she said sure. It was Ekadasi also. We went to

Hackney, a notoriously heavy suburb of central London, and had a really

lovely time.. It was sooooo easy to distribute the books for free. It was

fun for us and kind of naughty not getting a donation, as our centres are

generally run on book distribution. We had a great response from the

people we met. The nice thing was we could connect with people and explain

something about the book and why it was free. Jagatam didi a disciple of

Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja said, “This is so exciting. What a

fantastic idea.” The energy on harinama is so ecstatic with the devotees

singing and dancing that people are automatically attracted wanting to know

what it’s all about. When we gave the books and spoke to them they were very

appreciative and happy. We easily distributed over 100 books in less than an

hour. We had another harinama that Saturday in central London (our regular

monthly harinama) We decided to distribute books again along with flyers and

prasadam. This was fun too because it was so nice to see brand new devotees

from our temple enthusiastically handing out books and overcoming their

shyness to approach people. It was another great harinama with over 200 books

and loads of heart shaped biscuits distributed. We will continue to do this

on harinamas every month.
