Remembering Srila Prabhupada - The New French Krsna Book

[Guest guest]

The New French Krsna Book

 

In November of 1976, Puridasa dasa visited Prabhupada in Vrndavana. Puridasa

had come from Paris and he had brought with him the new French translation of

Krsna book.

 

Puridasa felt nervous as he entered Prabhupada's room and paid his obeisances.

Srila Prabhupada was speaking with a student from America at the time.

Prabhupada and Puridasa exchanged a few words, then Puridasa said that he had

brought the new French Krsna book. "Ah," Srila Prabhupada said, "this is what I

like," and he began to look at the new book. As he looked at the pages, his

face lit up and he held the book up for everyone in the room to see. He then

turned to the student from America and said how boys and girls in every country

of the world are taking seriously to Krsna consciousness. "Chant, dance, feast,

and philosophy -- this is Krsna consciousness," Prabhupada told the boy, and he

again began looking at the new book.

 

 

 

In the summer of 1974, Prabhupada traveled to Paris to install Sri Sri

Radha-Paris-isvara. The Deities were very large and required several men to

carry Them into the temple room. Prabhupada was pleased by how nicely the

temple had been decorated. During the abhiseka, Srila Prabhupada stopped for a

moment to look at Srimati Radharani's face. There was a spot of paint on Her

face. Prabhupada took some yogurt on his fingertip and with great care and

devotion, began to massage the spot on Her face. He did this for some time, and

the devotees could understand that Prabhupada was in full awareness that this

Deity was Radharani Herself. In this way he demonstrated complete absorption in

the worship of the Deity.
