Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Vaidyanatha Dasa: "I was surprised that such an elevated person, the leader of the Hare Krsna movement, became angry. In my mind, a transcendentalist always remained equipoised and serene. I didn't know yet that a devotee could even show anger in Krsna's service. I had been living with the devotees for less than a week. During the lecture, I was leaning against the wall, with my knees under my chin and my arms around them-the typical way you're not supposed to sit in front of the Deities. Prabhupada must have noticed me, because suddenly he pulled his legs up and sat on the vyasasana in exactly the same way I was sitting and said, 'It is an offense to sit in front of the Deities like this. Sit properly!' This is the only personal instruction I ever received from Srila Prabhupada, and I have been trying to apply it in its broadest sense: not only to sit properly in the temple but also to be always properly situated in devotional service."
