Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Bengalis are very humorous

[Guest guest]

May 12

 

 

Early this morning, Prabhupada requested that,

wherever we went, we should always secure cow's milk

for him. That was the main food he was taking now.

A copy of Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers was

presented to Srila Prabhupada. He very much

appreciated the photo of the gopis pushing Radharani

to Krsna. He said, "Women are especially envious; yet

here in the spiritual world, the principle is seva."

Prabhupada's darsana from five to six o'clock in the

evenings was fast becoming the most popular event in

Rishikesh. If one did not come exactly on time, there

was little chance of his getting in, as the room was

not very large. And it was no wonder people were eager

to come: Prabhupada's preaching is astounding! It is

absolutely absolute! His Divine Grace drove home the

point that one should accept Krsna's word "as it is."

Krsna is the standard accepted by all the great

acaryas. And there was no doubt in anyone's mind that

Prabhupada knew what Krsna had stated. Many mayavadi

sannyasis were listening respectfully, and they were

becoming influenced. At the end, they came up and

bowed their heads at Prabhupada's lotus feet. It is

wonderful! Normally, mayavadis are very proud,

thinking of themselves as Narayana; yet now they bow

down to Prabhupada! Prabhupada's humility is winning.

Prabhupada says, "Yes, I admit I am a fool." It

reminds one of Lord Caitanya's converting the

mayavadis of Benares.

"Srila Prabhupada," I said, "you must have told us at

least ten thousand Bengali stories.Yes," he said,

"my Guru Maharaja also was telling them. Bengalis are

very humorous."
