I worship Srila Prabhupada who, at a meeting of influential Hindus in Japan, suddenly shouted, "Stop him!" in the middle of their Mayavadi guru's speech.
I worship Srila Prabhupada who, at a Gita Sammelan, in livid anger challenged the nationally reputed swamis assembled there, "Why are you cheating people in the name of Bhagavad-gita?"
I worship Srila Prabhupada, who matter-of-factly told the press reporters that they had not been to the moon, that it was a hoax, and that the moon is further away than the sun.
I worship Srila Prabhupada, who told us to make great propaganda on two points: that they have not gone to the moon and they cannot make even a chicken egg.
I worship Srila Prabhupada, who never tired of teaching, "You are not the body. You are the eternal servant of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Unconditional surrender to His lotus feet is the purpose of human life."
I worship Srila Prabhupada, who knew our disease and repeatedly taught, "Give up sex life. Sex is the binding force within this material world."
I worship Srila Prabhupada who, when asked at a press conference about a bogus avatara, said, "I kick on his face with boots. I urinate on his face. What will he do?" And who recommended to his disciples the somewhat milder tactic of putting a pie in his face.
I worship Srila Prabhupada, who never compromised in preaching, and pray to him for the courage and conviction to follow eternally in his divine lotus footsteps.
