Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Dear Prabhu,

 

Thank you for wonderful story,I just want to tell that the same Radha-kunda

boy lives now in Kansas City.He lived near Radha Kunda for seven years,then

came back to America.It's a pity but he didn't get initiation from Srila

Prabhupada,even he had been met Prabhupada for several times.

Anyway,now he is a devotee of Krsna,he is like congregational member and

visits temple constantly,and helps for temple devotees by performing various

services...

> Prabhupada spoke sternly to his disciple, saying that the monkeys of

> Vrndavana also live simply but are interested only in eating and sex.

> "Don't become a monkey!" Prabhupada said, trembling as he spoke. "Why

> don't you come and live with me?"

> The boy replied, "The babajis have given me some facility to chant."

> "You come with me!" Prabhupada exclaimed. "I will give you facility. But

> Vrndavana in their next life. Prabhupada replied that the statement was

> accurate. The article, he said, had not specifically referred to the
