Auspicious marksAfter Srila Prabhupada had taken his lunch and afternoon nap, Upendra and Citralekha came to see him with their six-week-old son, Saumya. As always, Srila Prabhupada was warm and encouraging. He spoke kindly to his senior disciples who continued to render him so much service.Citralekha had taken the opportunity of briefly placing Saumya's head on Prabhupada's feet at his morning arrival. Now, Prabhupada asked Citralekha to bring the boy closer. He affectionately patted the baby on the head. Citralekha pointed out to Prabhupada two birthmarks on her child: "He has one where his tilaka goes and one where his sikha will be.""Oh, these are auspicious marks," Prabhupada replied.- From "The Great Transcendental Adventure" by HG Kurma Prabhu
