Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Drops of nectar

[Guest guest]

October 6 and October 7

 

 

In the early afternoon, Srila Prabhupada called me and

said, "I am not drinking anything; still there is

mucus. What is to be done?"

I repeated his previously spoken words that there must

be some husband [doctor].

Meditating on my statement, Prabhupada said, "Yogendra

Ras is last husband."

"What if after a few days, you stop taking that also?"

I asked.

"Then I will be a widow," he replied. He asked

Hari-sauri to prepare the medicine. I suggested

putting the regular powder on the body, and he

consented. I applied the powder thoroughly for about

half an hour.

 

October 7

Kirtanananda Maharaja arrived to the delight of Srila

Prabhupada, who immediately inquired about New

Vrindaban. Kirtanananda presented Srila Prabhupada

many gifts. There were 7,500 dollars from initiations,

a silver-threaded, crocheted bead bag, onyx boxes

containing jewels, and a gold ring set with valuable

stones. Prabhupada put the ring on his finger and

laughingly said, "So we will have to find out some

bride."

There was a valuable brooch that Prabhupada said could

be given to Krsna-Balarama. Kirtanananda Maharaja then

requested Srila Prabhupada to please pray to Krsna to

be allowed to live. Srila Prabhupada was very much

moved by the touching request. When Kirtanananda

expressed his intense desire for Prabhupada to come to

the palace in West Virginia (of which he later showed

photos), Prabhupada said, "Unless I become a little

strong, I can't go." Prabhupada tried a little ice

cream they had brought and said it was first-class.
