Remembering Srila Prabhupada - Depend on Krishna only

[Guest guest]

October 3 and October 5

 

 

Hari-sauri asked whether he could have a deity of

Prabhupada. Prabhupada said no. It would be better to

have his deity on the altar where everyone could

worship. Hari-sauri mentioned that he had some items

of clothing, etc., which he wished to worship; but

Prabhupada said he could do that later, "when I am no

longer present."

 

October 5

Srila Prabhupada awoke at 7:00 a.m. and asked for me.

He said, "It is 7:00 a.m., so bathe me."

While bathing Prabhupada, I told him that I was

expecting Krsna's miracle.

"I am also," he concurred."

"We should depend on Krsna, not on these kavirajas," I

said.

Prabhupada agreed, "That is real dependence."

"In your books, it is mentioned that when the

spiritual master retires, the elder disciples stay

with him and render menial services. Is that what is

happening now?" I questioned.

"Yes," he answered.

Prabhupada had me rub a mixture of honey and calcium

carbonate on his back to help heal the bed sores.

"Srila Prabhupada, your disciples are highly

qualified," I said.

"There is no doubt about it. They are much more

qualified than I am," he replied.

Prabhupada asked whether he should take darsana of the

Deities. Since he was feeling so tired and weak, I

advised that he take rest and go tomorrow.
