US Presidential Candidate Kerry Receives Bhagavad-gita
As It Is

BY KRSNA PREMA DASI

FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, Oct 19 (VNN) ? Krsna Prema dasi
reads Bhagavad Gita As It Is to Senator John Kerry

During a recent trip to Southwest Florida to survey
hurricane damage, US Presidential candidate Senator
John F. Kerry met with Krsna Prema dasi on the tarmac
along side the Kerry/Edwards campaign jet at Southwest
International Airport in Fort Myers, Florida. Krsna
Prema and her husband Bala das drove in the Senator's
motorcade on a trip to talk to victims of Hurricane
Charley. 

Krsna Prema dasi gave Senator Kerry a reprint of the
original copy of Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita As
It Is and read to him from the famous passage in
Chapter 3 Verse 21, "Whatever action is performed by a
great man, common men follow in his footsteps. And
whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all of
the world pursues."

Senator Kerry listened intently, holding the sacred
book, following along as she read. He said, " That is
very good. I like this." Krsna Prema dasi explained
that President Carter had also received an exact copy
of this book and quoted this passage during a speech.
She told Mr Kerry that he was considered a great man
and this book would be very helpful to him as a
leader.

Senator Kerry gladly received the gift and thanked
Krsna Prema. He took it with him as he fly off to his
next campaign engagement in his bid for the White House
