Narrated by AmbarishDuring the last few months of his life, I knew Srila Prabhupada was really ill, but I never thought that he was going to depart. I thought, " How can he leave? He can`t leave us now. " so I did not go to India. In retrospect, i wish I had gone, but Govardhan, the president of the detroit temple went, and when he first stood into Srila Prabhupada`s presence, Srila Prabhupada said, " How is Ambarish?" He was on his departure bed, yet he was asking how I was doing. It`s amazing to me that he was always so concerned. Right up to the end, he was translating and giving instructions, Everything he did, he did for our benefit, for the benefit of the living entities and especially for his disciples. It`s such an example of love. I never knew what love was before I met Srila Prabhupada. I had no idea, because we get so many perverted reflections. He was an example of Krishna`s love, and it is amazing that we`re able to see that.
