Hare Krsna! PAMHO and AGTSP!
I was a SKP devotee for many years back in the mid ’70s to ’80s in New Dvaraka. The Sankirtana mood was intense back then. I remember when Vaishesika, Pragosh and Tripurari Maharaja would come through to enliven the book distribution there. Those were the days! I remember one time Vaishesika had a cast on his arm because he broke his fore-arm during an arm-wrestling match. Most of my book distribution was done out on TSKP all over the country with Mahatma leading the charge. Some of my dear Godbrothers were Bhuddara, Puspadanta, Satyasena, Mahanta, Mahatseva, Gaura Bhagavan, Balaram, Bhagavat-krpa and Mahaprabhu. Eventually I was “promoted” to LAX where I was trained-up by the greatest book distributors that ever walked this plant…Guruttama, Bopadev, Gopa-gopisvara and even Gopavrndapal gave me some help which was very rare. At one point I was even going to be in a book distribution movie being made by Tamal-Krsna Gosvami. We did some filming but for some reason they decided not to proceed with the project. That’s too-bad because I distributed many books on film and got some very nice donations too. Oh well.
