Srila Prabhupada to Krishna

[Guest guest]

>From Memories, Vol 2, Tape 11:

 

[Tamal Krishna Goswami]: "Before the operation began, they gave me an

anaesthetic and said, 'Count from ten, down.' I got to about seven and that

was it. I was meditating on Radha-Rasabihari in the arati, and then I had a

very good dream. In my dream Srila Prabhupada had been called by the

previous acaryas to make a report on his preaching mission on this planet.

'What is your report?' Prabhupada said that he had studied the people of

this planet and he had found that they had no capacity for any type of

austerity. Nor were they very capable of studying, nor were they very pious.

He said the only thing that they were able to do was 'somehow take shelter

at my feet.'

 

"After the operation they wheeled me to my assigned room. Prabhupada was

sitting there. He said, 'I came here as fast as I could. I wanted to stop

the operation because I think you should have had this operation in

American, but anyway it is done now.' He had come all the way from Juhu in a

Jeep in the middle of the rush hour to try to stop the operation. I told

Prabhupada about the dream. Prabhupada listened very intently and said,

'Actually, this is so.'"
