Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 > Was Dr. Shastri one of the medical students that used to hear > discourses from Srila Prabhupada in the mid-fifties? Shastriji was a young doctor with whom Abhay used to stay in his rented upstairs room in Sipri Bazaar. Later he moved from there to Radha Memorial. Shastri says that the roof of the house had these pillars with muslim like domes on them (they're still there) and Shastriji started to break them. Prabhupada stopped him and told him not to do it because in the future you will own this building. He now owns the building and keeps a sort of memorial of Srila Prabhupada in the room where they stayed together. Prabhupada also predicted that one day he would be the Mayor of Jhansi and that also came to pass. He can talk for hours non-stop, just goes charging on like a locomotive. When they have programs in the temple they have to let him talk last. Even most people have gotten up and left because it is so late, even they take the mike away, he just keeps going! There's more about him in the Lilamrita. In service of Srimati Vrinda Devi, Deena Bandhu dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
