Srila Prabhupada to Krishna

[Guest guest]

I heard from Ravindra Svarupa prabhu (although he regrets he can not now

document it) that Srila Prabhupada said or wrote that "Krishna did not send

me any first class men".

 

Anyone has a clue where that might be traced?

 

Your servant,

Yogindra dasa
