For one year, Prabhupada wore a pair of beat-up, monkey-chewed sandals that, I

believe, Sruti Kirti Prabhu repaired and offered to him at the Radha-Damodara

Mandir.

 

Prabhupada also became angry, according to Radha Kunda Prabhu, when he noticed

that the brass bucket in his bathroom at Mayapura was unnecessarily replaced.

He shouted, "Where is the old bucket? It was perfectly good. Why did you spend

money to get a new one? It is not your money. Don't waste money like that."
