I am a lucky guy who gets to live in the residential quarters of where our guru, Prabhupada, stayed in June of 1976. I sleep where he slept, not on the same bed, of course. That wooden-based bedstand is preserved and on display in the next room which is set in his sitting quarters.
Three men came into the bedroom quarters to do some renovations. They are professionals, and our hiring them becomes an act of devotion towards His Divine Grace Prabhupada. For starters, the carpet was ripped out and the tiles below them. More work will continue tomorrow with the expressed desire to finish with a fresh look in honour of our founder. The donor towards the project is Dave Patel, and he is approaching it with deep devotion. Over the phone, I heard him tell the threesome, “Don’t cut any corners! I want a good job done!”
“Yes! Yes!” addressed the workers in full agreement.
