Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Ayurvedic medicines

[Guest guest]

October 26

 

 

Prabhupada decided that he would take makaradhvaja

only once a day for a while and observe the effect.

Prabhupada said his father also used to take

makaradhvaja. "Svarna-sindhu is another preparation

which is cheaper."

Svarupa Damodara received a telegram informing him of

the passing away of his grandfather and requesting his

presence for the sraddha ceremony, especially as there

were no other senior members of the family. He

approached Srila Prabhupada and said, "I do not know

if it is proper. My grandfather has expired. May I

take leave?" Prabhupada answered by citing the verse

from Srimad-Bhagavatam, "Devarsi bhutapta...: Those

who are engaged in Krsna's service have no necessity

for such things. Anyone who is fully engaged in

Krsna's service has no other duty. He is no longer

anyone else's servant because he has taken shelter of

the ultimate Supreme Person. The sraddha ceremony is

not required for a devotee fully surrendered at the

lotus feet of Krsna. Now whatever you want to do...."

Svarupa Damodara heard these good instructions and

looked towards me. I confirmed his decision not to go.

Prabhupada: I am persevering, but where is March? I

want to stay but circumstances differ. Don't give me

any medicine. Simply chant and parikrama.

 

During the night Hari-sauri Prabhu informed Srila

Prabhupada of the death of Samjata in Bhubaneshwar.

Hari-sauri inquired whether dying in the dhama

guaranteed that one will go back to Godhead. Srila

Prabhupada replied, "At least you get many years in

the heavenly planets." He quoted relevant verses from

the Sixth Chapter of Bhagavad-gita.
