Srila Prabhupada planted the seed of a great banyan tree

[krsna]

Gour Govinda Swami:

 

“He (Srila Prabhupada) is empowered! Can't you understand this thing? Why couldn't they (Srila Prabhupada’s God brothers) do this thing? Why do they come at this time and do now, when the atmosphere is created, the platform is there, foundations are already laid, some construction is there? Now they are coming. Now you are going there, leaving ISKCON camp. Such foolishness! You are such a fool! Can't you understand this thing? Thereby they are committing such offense. [srila Prabhupada’s God brothers say] He has given only elementary knowledge A B C, nothing higher. You can't understand what he (Srila Prabhupada) has said. When a tiny seed is there, it contains, like the seed of a banyan tree, so tiny, but it contains a great banyan tree inside. You, fool, cannot understand this thing. So intolerable. As a disciple of my guru maharaja and as a member of his founded society ISKCON, it is our duty to keep up the prestige. Yes, it is our duty now.”
