On Representing Srila Prabhupada
Nowadays I'm getting many letters, mostly from people met on preaching travels or who have read my books. Many ask for advice, and I reply, advising as Srila Prabhupada advised us. The replies are often filled with tremendous gratefulness. People become so enlivened to get what seems to me straightforward advice like, "Try to chant Hare Krsna attentively and read Srila Prabhupada's books every day." So much affection is being showered on me through the mail. I har

On Remembering Srila Prabhupada
I personally felt the presence of Prabhupada very strongly in the early days of our preaching mission in Bangladesh. There were but few devotees, and we were spread thin. I had to spend weeks and months without strong association. It was underground work. There were many difficulties.

Once I was traveling alone in Bangladesh, undergoing many difficulties, compounded

This is the 1974 Ratha Yatra in Melbourne, Australia. Prabhupada walked and did little dance steps the whole route without riding in the Ratha Yatra cart. On the evening of this day when I was mas saging Srila Prabhupada’s legs he remarked to me, “You were dancing nicely today”. His own dancing inspired me to dance and here I am yielding his cane while he plays karatalas. He is wearing flashy silk clothes, a white cadar and varied colored hat and turtle neck.
