Mind, Body, Spirit Fairs

It can seem a daunting task to approach an MBS Fair with the intention of giving away DVD's to help propagate Maharaji's message but one advantage of these fairs, is that the majority of the people are coming because they are searching for something - maybe it's relief from pain, help to see the future or whatever, but they are searching; so that is why they are ideal for us.

My partner and I have frequently done these type of stalls on our own with just another couple taking over during a lunch break. This has been fine with us. Some people like to have a team of people so that no-one does more than a couple of hours.

As we are not selling anything, unlike all the other stalls, some people can be very suspicious of 'free' stuff, so we like to be hands on and ask people if they would like a free DVD. We always stand at the front of the table and if people approach the stall, we ask them if they would like a free DVD. Personally, I get a real buzz from manning the stall and being pro-active but I know that some people do not like doing it this way. Each to their own. There is no right or wrong way to do this and you do what is comfortable for you.

People are generally curious and want to know what it is about, whilst others shy away from being approached in any way. We never push DVD's on people who don't want them. I love talking to the people; those who heard about Maharaji way back when, or those who just seem curious as to what we are doing with the stall.

At the end of the day when we pack up, I know I always feel as though I did something worthwhile with my day, even if not many people took DVD's, at least I tried to get Maharaji's message out there.
