Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.10.9-11 during the morning program.
“We were new to Krishna consciousness and we were new to India at the Ardha Kumbha Mela in 1971. A man came to our camp saying that he chants Hare Krishna and follows the regulative principles and we were very impressed to meet him. He also said that he had seen Krishna. We went to Srila Prabhupada and explained what the man had said and Srila Prabhupada was appreciating him. But, when he heard that the man had said that he had seen Krishna, then he said, ‘He may be a pretender because in our mood we don’t say that we have seen Krishna. We are in the mood of separation, that, ‘Where is Krishna?’ We are searching for Krishna; he radhe vraja-devike ca lalite he nanda-suno kutah. And that mood is very purifying.”
