Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 He told us his Guru Maharaj had gotten somebody to buy cigarettes for a visiting scholar from Germany. His Guru Maharaj would do such a thing for preaching. Similarly, when I was in Russia there was a scarcity of food, and Prabhupada told me, "You can even eat meat if you have to, to keep this preaching program going on." I didn't have to, but the principle was there. "On one Ekadasi my Guru Maharaj fed everybody." Based on that example, Prabhupada had us observe Ekadasi and at the same time cook and distribute regular prasadam. In other words, he didn't want us to discontinue the prasadam distribution program.
