My Favorite Place & Why


WHEREVER IS TULASI, ITS VRINDAVAN
[October 7, 1972, ISKCON Los Angeles, USA]


While in New Dwarka, Srila Prabhupada would go into his garden every evening around sunset. He often stayed for two or three hours. Sometimes I was alone with His Divine Grace and sometimes other devotees and guests joined him as well. Although we were in the midst of smog-filled, Los Angeles, Srila Prabhupada's garden seemed to be part of the spiritual world.

He often commented how much he liked this garden where more than 30 Tulasi plants flourished. Although he had traveled around the world several times, he spoke of this garden as his favorite place.

"Wherever there is Tulasi," Srila Prabhupada said, "it is Vrindavan."

Chapter 19: Los Angeles Garden, A Favorite Place]
