Remembering Srila Prabhupada - That I may pass away at any moment

[Guest guest]

September 21

 

 

His Divine Grace has not yet been able to see the

Deities, but every day he asks to see Their picture,

at which he looks very lovingly. This morning after I

bathed and put tilaka on him, he held

Radha-Rasabihari's photo and chanted the Gayatri

mantra. The chanting took at least ten minutes, much

longer than Prabhupada used to take. He then had me

nail the frame of the picture to his bedpost so he

could always be looking at Them.

In the afternoon, Prabhupada called for me.

"Today I am not feeling well," he said. "I have passed

liquid stool." Prabhupada was looking very dispirited.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"That I may pass away at any moment," he replied, very

gravely, "because there is no vital force."

I tried to encourage Prabhupada and was to some extent

successful. I asked if he would take a massage.

"Whatever you tell me, I will do."

Later, we gave Prabhupada vegetable broth, and he

liked it.

"No onions," he said.
