A report of meeting a young Tahitian lady in an art gallery who showed deep interest in spiritual books and began distributing them.
Chapter One: The Art Gallery
On July 24, 2013, I entered an art gallery and met a young lady of French Tahitian origin. She welcomed me warmly. We discussed her background and she chanted the Maha-mantra, explaining she had read "Chant and Be Happy" and it left an indelible impression. She purchased a copy of "Renunciation through Wisdom" and agreed that books should not just sit on a shelf but be passed around.
Chapter Two: Library Meeting and Book Box
We met later at the library. She agreed to purchase copies of "Renunciation through Wisdom" at a wholesale price to distribute to others. She also took some japa beads and a beadbag on a thirty-day account, and began chanting. She is a beautiful, selfless soul and is now inspired to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books.
