680 books

680 books, by Haripada dasa
I share another story of Sankirtana, it was the 1990 Christmas Marathon, we did it in Andalusia, the South of Spain, we were 15 devotees and we rented a very big house for the whole month of December, in a day God or Krishna distributed through me 680 books, 340 Upadesamritas, the Nectar of Instruction and 340 Raja Vidyas, the King of Education, was in a town in Seville, I arrived at the town at dawn, parked the car in front of the City Hall and started distributing books, I went with two bags of books, in one I carried the Upadesamrita and in the other the Raja Vidya, and people distributed the two books, I had a very funny story, I saw that an older man was watching me all morning as I distributed the books, and by the mercy of Krishna, this man also distributed books, when a person told me he did not want the books, this old man approached and said to the man, like you tell the Missionary that you do not want the books, but if everyone in the town has them, and began to say names of the people of the town who had bought the books, of course it was a town of about 10,000 inhabitants and there everyone is known, and this older man distributed that Like 20 books, the truth is that the people of that town were very good people, from 9 in the morning until 1 PM, I had given 400 books, then I went to the car and I respected a giant sandwich of whole wheat bread with cheese and salad, I remember that our cook and his assistant had many mystical powers, every day they cooked breakfast and made 15 giant sandwiches of wholemeal bread, washed all the clothes of the devotees, and every day they went to the bank to enter the collection and washed each day the whole house, after respecting the sandwich I took a nap, and then in two hours more I distributed 280 books, until the local police encouraged me and told me you have to give all the books, you have to empty the car of books, that day I collected 82,000 pesetas or 820 dollars, after doing this one does not believe it, one only understands and accepts that this is the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and of God or Krishna, and that one is only an instrument of them.
The worldwide record of the distribution of Srila Prabhupada's books is held by a French devotee who distributed 1,000 books of the great classics of India in one day, they were the book of Krishna that had almost 1,000 pages and the first song of The Lord. Srimad Bhagavatam that had more than 1,000 pages.
