Make Hare Krishna Land Juhu into a BUS STOP!

[Guest guest]

Even after Prabhupada got the permit to build the residences for the

devotees [in Juhu, Mumbai], he still had to get permission to build the

temple. And the government seemed determined not to give it. Sometimes, when

things looked really bad, Srila Prabhupada almost appeared to become

hopeless. But even when he seemed hopeless, he would always see the positive

side. One day he said, “Even if we don’t get permission and build the

temple, never mind. We’ll make Hare Krishna Land into a bus stop. We will

have many buses and we’ll send devotees out to do sankirtana and distribute

books, and every now and then they can come back and refuel.” Srila

Prabhupada had an amazing way of turning something that appeared to be

negative into something positive. Srila Prabhupada was always a fighter,

always a hero. (Extract from Watering the Seed by HH Giriraja Swami)
