On June 16th, we went to the Astaprahar being held at the Tagore Centre in Etobicoke. It was an extremely hot day and we were already perspiring as we setup the table. We noticed that the place was practically empty. In fact during the course of the whole day, there were only about 30 to 40 people in the building. However, this gave us an opportunity to approach everyone that passed. One lady decided to buy some children's books for her young daughter but would not buy the Bhagavad Gita saying that she is all about her daughter now and when she gets old maybe she will have time. This was quite funny to hear because as Srila Prabhupada and indeed Prahlad Maharaj has taught us - the time is now - we don't know how much more time we will have on this planet. In the end 73 books were distributed. Thank you to all the devotees involved in this service to Srila Prabhupada.
