On June 24, 2015, inside the rhythmic sway of a moving train, another beautiful chapter unfolded in the ongoing journey of sharing Lord Krishna’s words. Amid the usual hum of conversations and passing scenery, a fellow passenger named Harsh spoke words that many feel but rarely voice so openly—and in doing so, opened the door to the supreme knowledge.
I offered him a copy of Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
“I am not having Bhagavad Gita and never gave a thought of studying it…” he said candidly.
“Now since the thought has come,” I replied gently, “so why not to put it into action by reading the Gita?”
He looked curious. “Why you are distributing the Gita for us…”
I smiled and answered from the heart:
“For you to know the real you;
For you to know God and His creation;
For you to know the ultimate goal of this human form of life;
For you to know the best yoga among all;
For you to go back home, back to Godhead—where there are no miseries.
But for knowing all this, start studying the Gita from today itself.”
He paused, then spoke with genuine warmth. “I was asking because I am glad to see distribution of these kinds of scriptures. These practices are very rare to see nowadays…”
“Thanks for your kind words!” I said, touched by his appreciation.
A quiet moment passed, then he extended his hand. “Please… Give me this book.”
I am thankful to Harsh, who is now going to know the supreme knowledge through the Bhagavad Gita!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, whose tireless distribution of Lord Krishna’s words continues to awaken rare, sincere hearts even in the middle of train journeys.
This train encounter is a gentle, inspiring reminder: Thoughts of Lord Krishna often arrive unexpectedly—like a sudden breeze through an open window. We may never have “given it a thought” before, but when the thought does come, Lord Krishna is already waiting for our response. Harsh didn’t just accept a book; he chose to act on the rare spark of interest that so many let fade away. In a world where genuine spiritual distribution feels “very rare nowadays,” his appreciation and quick “Please… give me this book” becomes a quiet victory for bhakti.
To every reader who has ever had a fleeting thought—“Maybe I should read the Gita someday”—let Harsh’s story be your gentle push: The thought has already come. Why not put it into action today? Start small—one verse, one page, one sincere moment. The miseries end, the real self awakens, and home calls louder than ever.
Have you ever acted on a sudden spiritual thought that felt like it came from nowhere? Or noticed how rare and precious these moments of sharing Krishna consciousness have become? Share your reflection below—your words might be the encouragement someone needs to say “Please… give me this book” in their own journey.
More sacred train rides and unexpected awakenings coming soon, all weaving together into a book of these divine, everyday yeses to Krishna. Keep welcoming the thought—Lord Krishna turns it into transformation.
