You never know . . .

[Guest guest]

Another devotee posted this old katha about London ISKCON in the 1970s on

another website:

 

"The atmosphere in the temple was always one of a large family I

was told of a story by the London devotees.

 

"Once there was this Indian gentleman who would come and sit very quietly

in the back of the temple everyday for the morning greeting of the

Deities.

 

"No one gave him much attention. When it came time for prasad he would

insist on serving all the devotees and taking prasad only after all the

devotees had taken their fill. He would also insist on washing up the

prasad area the pots and pans in Shree Shree Radha London Isvaras kitchen.

Then he would leave and come back the next day.

 

"Each day he would do the same thing and this went on for about a week at

the end of that time he introduced himself to the devotees. He was Dr

Kapoor, the godbrother of Srila Prabhupada. He was in London on a visit

was very happy to be able to see the temple, serve the devotees and Their

Lordships.

 

"I was quite taken aback. One should be very careful, I thought, how one

treats the worshipers in the temple. They are the guests of the deities

and we are their humble servants. We are distributing Their Lordships

prasad on behalf of Srila Prabhupadas Srila Guru Maharaj."
