Srila Prabhupada shaved on Ekadasi.

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila

Prabhupada. All Glories to all the Vaisnavas.

 

With refernce to the following I humbly request you to kindly let me know

what is "SPDG 3 : The Last Visit" in Vedabase as I could not locate the same

in the Vedabase Folio.

 

Also I tried sending this text to Srila.Prabhupada-Owner (AT) pamho (DOT) net but the

message did not go thru saying cannot find. How is this possible when a

Pamho.net address is given

 

Thank You very much. Haribol.

Your servant,

Bhakta haresh.

 

 

Here is the quotation:

 

*>*>| Bhakti-bhusana Swami: "In the late afternoon on Janmastami, we

*>*>| assembled in the temple room, and Hayagriva, who had arrived from

the

*>*>| U.S.A. the day before, read from the manuscript of the Krsna

book.

*>*>| Prabhupada, sitting on his vyasasana, was simply absorbed in

*>*>| listening to Krsna's pastimes. This Janmastami was the first time

I

*>*>| ever fasted, and I was gradually becoming weak and spaced-out. We

sat

*>*>| for hours listening to Krsna book.

*>*>| "In the evening, Prabhupada decided to have his head shaved

--something

*>*>| he usually did only every ekadasi-- and Krsna Dasa, who regarded

this

*>*>| as his favorite service, carefully shaved Srila Prabhupada's head

 

*>*>| while we others watched.
