Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dear Devotees Please Accept My Humble Obeisances All Glories to Srila Prabhupada SP wanted preaching to flourish in Africa. I pray that we all will be able to make his desires come true. Nowadays more and more of his senior disciples are looking forward to fulfilling his dreams of converting Africa into Krishna Conscious Africa. All glories to their efforts. Your servant in the service of Guru and Gauranga Mahaprabhu Caitanya Das __________________________ Srila Prabhupada Nectar - White Negro "Preaching in Africa seems to be a waste of time," said Prabhupada's disciple, Gargamuni. Gargamuni wanted to convince Prabhupada that his brother, Brahmananda Swami, should come and join them in India. "Prabhupada, what is Brahmananda doing there? He could be here in India. I don't really think the people there can become Krsna conscious because they're so backward." "You are thinking that the Negroes cannot become actually Krsna conscious," said Prabhupada, "because you are in a different body. You are in a white body. This is your body prejudice. You are thinking like that. But from my point of view, I am seeing you as a white Negro." Gargamuni soon came stumbling out of Prabhupada's room, aware that he had just been devastated by his spiritual master. To the first person he met, he said, "Do you know what Prabhupada just called me? He said I was a white Negro!"
