Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Instructions...

[Guest guest]

October 14 and October 21

 

 

When Srila Prabhupada woke up, he called Pisima and

asked her to chant Nrsimhadeva mantras over him, which

she did while rubbing his chest. Srila Prabhupada

said, "She is a Vaisnavi and God has sent her at the

right time to cure me."

 

October 21

During the past two days, he had eaten a little

custard at times, and a little ice cream. Today, we

suggested that he pick his favorite preparation. We

all gave suggestions, which Prabhupada rejected; but

when Upendra mentioned laddhu, Prabhupada approved,

"Yes, bundi laddhu." I remembered it was Rama

Vijayotsava and said there must be a feast. The

conversation was very light. Pisima was engaged for

cooking. When Prabhupada lay down, he very seriously

admonished, "Before the spiritual master, don't talk

anything that will cause laughing. Laughing means

taking things lightly. That is the etiquette. Gravity

must be maintained. This is for your teaching. You are

simple. Understand me rightly, or not?"

Prabhupada quoted from Brahma-samhita:

Ramadi-murtisu... and premanjana-cchurita-bhakti...:

"These two mantras should always be repeated. That

will do great benefit to me. Then Hare Krsna and Sri

Krsna Caitanya.... kirtana must always go on and these

mantras. So I and you can hear them. And

physically-massage. Sometimes with Brahmi oil on the

head."

 

Giriraja praised Srila Prabhupada.

Giriraja (feelingly): Srila Prabhupada, we have never

met anyone with such transcendental qualities as you.

Prabhupada: It has to be developed. Transcendental

qualities are already there. Only when we are

designationless is it manifest. Svayam eva sphuraty

adau. When we serve in service mood, it is manifested.

It is now covered. But when we become prone to give

service to Krsna, it becomes revealed. Nothing is

imported. Now print books and distribute.
