Narrated by Radhanath SwamiAfter Srila Prabhupada had lectured, he got up and started to walk off the stage. As he walked by me, I reached to touch his feet, because I was taught you`re supposed to touch a holy man`s feet and place the dust upon your head. But one of his senior disciples yelled at me, " No one is allowed to touch Srila Prabhupada`s feet. " Very embarrassed, I pulled my hand back. Srila Prabhupada looked at me, smiled, and gave me my first instruction. He said, "You can touch my feet. " I touched his lotus feet and placed the dust on my head. He smiled very mercifully and told me, " You come and sit here every night. "
