Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 HH Jayapataka Maharaja often relates the following. Once Srila Prabhupada refused to give initiation beads to a devotee because he did not have the string after the eighth bead. Srila Prabhupada said that without the string, they were not bona fide. When asked why, he replied that 108 beads signified 108 gopis and that the eight beads signified the eight principal gopis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
