Excerpt from a lecture 

 

Srila Prabhupada remembered his doctor friend from Prayag or Allahabad called Dr. Ghosh. Prabhupada wanted him to come and treat him. So someone had to go.

I was asked to go to Allahabad and it was a big rush and it was an emergency. So I went, well, he was not in Allahabad, he was in Darjeeling, where his granddaughter was studying. So I had to go to Darjeeling, it is in Assam on top of the mountain.

In Allahabad I remember, I first went to Dr. Ghosh’s home and found out he was not there. And then I had to go back to the airport.

On the way to the airport there was one Hanuman mandir, I was praying to Hanuman. I still remember, I saw the Hanuman mandir and started praying. I thought my mission is somewhat similar to that of Hanuman. [Laughter]

Because when Lakshman - who is Adi-guru - was not well, that time during the battle at Sri Lanka, some medicine was required. So Hanuman was sent to Himalayan Mountains.

So I thought I also have to, not to get the medicine, but the doctor who will provide medicine to Prabhupada. [Laughter] And I had to go to Himalaya Mountain. So I was praying and by the grace of Hanuman, I did find the doctor.
