Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Prabhu It is just nectarian. It touched my heart while reading and remembering the following pastimes > O mind, please run towards Srila Prabhupad > Distributing his Back to Godhead > In that boiling summer city > Remember how he starts reeling > Because of the heat > How he was charged by a stray cow > In a secluded street > Remember his small suitcase, > His umbrella and his supply of cereal > That how he walked on-board, alone > Carrying with him Caitanya-caritamrta > There were no supporters, disciples, relatives > Waving their hands from the shore > No one knew how the crossing would end > Except Lord Krishna, his most dear friend > > Friday, September 10th, 1965: > "Today the ship is plying very smoothly," > He comments with humility, "today I feel better > But I'm feeling separation from Sri Vrindavan > And my Lords - Sri Govinda, Gopinath, Radha-Damodar" > > From the grey waterfront down the harbor's ships and lobster stands > The drab buildings, the skyscrapers of the New World appear > And Srila Prabhupad praying to his dearmost Lord: > "I do not know why you have brought me here" > > He passes though customs and U.S. Immigration > His visa allows him a three-month stay, stand officially > Captain Pandia walks with him into Boston > To show him what American life will be > And Srila Prabhupad praying to his dearmost Lord: > "Now you can do whatever you like with me" Thank you for reminding us about such a great soul. yhs, vmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
