“Bhakti Charu Maharaj in the final days of Srila Prabhupada was amongst the entourage of Prabhupada. He used to render personal service, so Prabhupada rang the bell and Bhakti Charu Maharaj went. Prabhupada asked for some orange juice and Bhakti Charu Maharaj said “yes Srila Prabhupada I will bring”. And then 5 minutes later the bell rang again but this time the bell was ringing firmer, Prabhupada was ringing urgently. Bhakti Charu Maharaj went and Prabhupada said “So where is the orange juice?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
Bhakti Charu Maharaj said “it’s not ready yet”, Prabhupada said “forget it, forget it, I don’t want it anymore”. The reason why the orange juice was not ready was because there were no oranges, someone had gone out to bring the oranges. So when finally the oranges came then Bhakti Charu Maharaj made the orange juice and brought it to Srila Prabhupada, Prabhupada said “I told you, I don’t want it anymore, I told you take it away”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
And Bhakti Charu Maharaj said to Prabhupada “Srila Prabhupada if you want to chastise me I deserve it but I still ask you please take this orange juice because it’s good for you. Prabhupada then said “alright give the orange juice”. Srila Prabhupada drank the orange juice and said “what to do I am an old man, old man are sometimes a little grumpy”. ⠀⠀
