Madhudvisa announced at the feast after the ceremony that devotees could go up to Prabhupada's room to present their offerings.Citralekha presented a special gift to Srila Prabhupada -- a golden locket. Prabhupada opened it and looked inside. "Oh, what is this?""That's a picture of your spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati on one side, and on the other is some cotton from Srila Rupa Gosvami's quilt in Vrndavana."Prabhupada expressed his appreciation: "Oh, thank you very much. Very nice."One by one the devotees entered the room, offered their obeisances and gifts, stayed a short while, then filed out.- From "The Great Transcendental Adventure" by HG Kurma Prabhu
