By Radhapriya (12 years)
On June 2 and 3rd, there was a Tamil Carnival in Markham. The organizers were expecting thousands of people, but the weather did not cooperate – it rained and so there were no crowds and very few people. But we had a beautiful table filled with Srila Prabhupada’s books in both Tamil and English. At first I was very shy but my mother (Minakshi devi dasi) kept approaching every person that passed and was encouraging people to look at the books and preaching. Finally I got the courage to do so as well. I spoke to kids and adults and people actually stopped and listened! Some just passed and said no, but I was still hopeful and kept trying. I distributed Tamil Bhagavad Gitas and Krishna books as well as some kids books. I was so happy everytime someone took a book that I was not even so tired after standing all day. In the end a total of 200 books were distributed at the Tamil Carnival with the mercy of Srila Prabhupada
