Every minute is an opportunity

The other day we were looking for a place to rent and walked into a parlour. This was cutting right into my sankirtan time and I was praying for a miracle. That’s when the owner of the parlour walked in and started to speak with us. She started to ask us about what we do and that was the way in. One thing led to another and she mentioned she chanted the Aum. So told her to add another small mantra to her repository ‘Gauranga’ and there she was chanting Gauranga repeatedly. She started to talk about mantras and how she likes it and the next thing you know she had a Bhagavad in her hand. Rishi prabhu taught her the Hare Krishna mantra and was asking us several questions. She was very appreciative and gave a donation for the book. It was a lesson that every minute is an opportunity for Sankirtan – like Vaisesika Prabhu said, always keep a book with you.
