Srila Prabhupadas nectar

[Guest guest]

May 3

 

 

Today, we received word that Jayananda Prabhu had

given up his body. When Prabhupada was informed he

said, "Yes, sooner or later we must all go."

Afterwards, tears came to His Divine Grace's eyes. "He

was one of my very best disciples. He was the first to

give me five thousand dollars, which was used for

printing Teachings of Lord Caitanya. He used to drive

me in the car, and while driving he would be

chanting."

I asked Prabhupada about Jayananda's destination. "He

is not lost. He will be promoted. If he still has some

desire for sense gratification, then he will be

promoted to the higher planets where he will live for

ten thousand years with full enjoyment. By then, he

may have perfected his devotional service and he will

be transferred back to Godhead. Or, if he has not yet

perfected his devotional service, he will be reborn in

a very high, aristocratic, pious family. But if he was

thinking of Krsna, then he can have gone directly to

Krsna-loka."

When I asked Prabhupada about Krsna's appearance, he

told me that when Krsna appears in this universe, He

always does so on this particular earth planet.

The construction was going on ever so slowly. Surabhi

Swami continually promised that, in fifteen days,

extra marble workers would be coming. "For fifteen

years he has been so promising," Srila Prabhupada

said. "There was a professional witness. When he was

sworn in he would give his age as sixty. One day the

judge asked him, 'For sixty years you have been giving

the same age.' The witness replied, 'A man's word is

one.' And so with Surabhi Swami."

One fly had been giving Prabhupada trouble. "They say

that there is no intelligence. But at night the

mosquito will come and he will find out the small hair

hole and inject his poison, though it is completely

dark." Prabhupada explained that a mosquito cannot

bite through the skin just anywhere, but must find the

hair hole.
