Once an older godbrother, Rasamrta prabhu, told me what he saw and heard

directly from Srila Prabhupada many years ago. In Brooklyn, Srila Prabhupada

was speaking before the devotees when he looked at a picture of Krsna with the

cows and cowherd boys, across the room from him.

 

Gazing at it, he told the devotees that when a pure devotee sees such

pictures, he sees much more than others can see. Prabhupada also said that in

addition to Krsna, the cowherd boys, land, and cows, a pure devotee can see that

one cow has a tear coming from her eye. He asked the devotees why, but no one

could answer. He then explained that this one cow was completely overwhelmed

with love, because the little calf that Krsna was holding was her very own calf.

 

Srila Prabhupada then added that out of profound humility and respect,

every single blade of grass in the picture was inclining towrds Kåñëa’s

lotus feet. All of the devotees were fairly stunned to hear this revelation,

especially because it seemed that Srila Prabhupada had a direct perception of

the spiritual world he was describing.
