Srila Prabhupadas nector

[Guest guest]

April 10 and April 16 - 1977

 

 

April 10

The next day another member of Parliament, Sri Ram

Jethmalani, came to visit Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada

stressed again the importance of Krsna consciousness,

and Mr. Jethmalani was favorably impressed. Mr.

Jethmalani raised the question of whether there was

any social welfare work to be done by Krsna

consciousness, and Prabhupada told him that such was

simply the business of dogs and cats. Our purpose was

to end this material life. That was the purpose of

human life-not simply barking social welfare and

getting nothing done. Mr. Jethmalani, the most eminent

lawyer of India, was highly impressed. He promised to

give all help for Srila Prabhupada's movement.

 

April 16

Yesterday, pleased with the article, "Who Is Harijan,"

which I had written under his direction, Srila

Prabhupada remarked that now a few of us should start

to write regularly on various topics he would name.

Because he was very weak, he did not have the strength

to preach as much as he would like to. In addition to

having taken up the management on his behalf, we were

now also expected to write essays and give lectures,

transmitting the powerful arguments he would give us.

Srila Prabhupada remarked that he was never fooled by

any woman. He said he never came under the grip of

maya in that way. Many women were eager to marry him

when he was a young man, and he had many

opportunities; but he never succumbed to this

allurement of maya. The sister of one of his friends,

a very beautiful Kashmiri girl, fell in love with him.

Prabhupada said she was particularly attracted by his

harmonium playing.
