Your ever well-wisher

The Official Source For Srila Prabhupada's Original Books
Today I was at a university distributing Srila Prabhupada’s wonderful transcendental books doing my little part to help others to realize that they are not the body but an eternal soul. Then I happened to meet Katie (The young lady in the above picture) who after looking at the books enthusiastically told me “Yeah, I already have all those books”. She then, with a big smile, explained to me that her boyfriend had already got books from me over a year ago, and they have been reading them together ever since.
So we started talking and I noticed on her chest some tattooed words that where half covered by her shirt and I asked her what her tattoo says. She told me it says
“You do not have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body”
I was so pleasantly surprised and elated! I thought it was so cool and thoughtful! I almost could not believe the bold awesome spirit of this you lady to tattoo this wonderful realization across her chest as a statement to the world that she is not a fool, she is self realized, and she is not going to hide it! You go Katie! You are awesome!
