Giriraj Swami and Guru Prasada Swami look back at their service in ISKCON over the last 50 years.

“I remember when a devotee came up to me and said. ‘Ten years ago I met you on the street and you gave me a book. From that book I found a temple and became a devotee.’ That is such a rewarding experience. Sometimes, when you distribute books or do any service, you feel a little overburdened because there is so much to do for Krishna. But, when you get that reciprocation from the deities or someone you have preached to, it makes everything worthwhile. You think, ‘I can participate in this way in Krishna consciousness’. That is how I have put my little grain of sand into this movement — by trying to pioneer. And, I am still trying to do that to some degree — if Krishna gives me the chance.”

—Guru Prasada Swami
