One time I was on a train to Bombay, and these Indian fundamentalist Christians saw me chanting japa and they asked me if I was from America and I said yes (I know, bad decision, next time I go, I'll say I'm from New Zealand or something) then they asked me why I would reject "the most merciful lord Jesus Christ"? I can't remember my exact words (I was still fired up from being with devotees), but I said something like how can you reject the spiritual heritage of mother bharata by accepting animal slaughter and religions spread by imperialists? Then they started to cry and told me they wanted to come to America with me. Then when the train porter guy didn't have any vegetable biryani for sale, one of the men looked for some acceptable food for me at one of the train stations. The End!
