APRIL 12, 2026. Coming from the fabulous Vyasapuja celebration of HH Gopal Krishna Maharaja at ISKCON Brisbane, a truly love of Godhead saturated event, love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna Himself, as well as love for His parts and parcels living entities. I was situated in the Darra Aldi car park with a spare garland, colourful shirt, tilak and thinking about the following lines: ” Good day Madam u r looking good to day and if you were to wear this multi-coloured Krishna-blessed garland the quality of your day would increase unimaginably. But she was already driving off in her fancy BMW and I did not get my chance at all. But better was to come.

While I was checking out at Aldi someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked around and was truly surprised to see the front counter lady of my Optometrist in Mt Omaney shopping centre. Name of the company: VISION PRECINCT founded and managed by a Vietnamese gentleman, Mr HUY HO. They promote free glasses for pensioners. These free glasses are supplied by the Qld Gov., and a small administration fee is payable to Vision Precinct.

So there were two ladies and my debit card refused to debit. The second lady immediately volunteered to pay the total amount of $30.00 I ran to my Samkirtan Van and fetched two Bhagavad Gita’s one for each lady. The important thing here is that we have to reciprocate . This is a given and take business not just a pocket it business as Hayagriva would have it in his rendition of the Bhagavad Gita As I Is NOT. Give and take keeps the energy level high and blissful. And the lady got the garland too. This is good preaching because they will remember this Krishna instance and perhaps fead some kjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj will
