Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Colin Cross: Why particularly in the West?

Prabhupāda: Because my Guru Mahārāja ordered that, "You go and teach this gospel in the Western world."

Jayatīrtha: His teacher instructed him to do this.

Colin Cross: Yes. And are you surprised at the great success you've had?

Prabhupāda: That is my Guru Mahārāja's blessings. He ordered me, I tried my best, so there is little success. When I see so many boys and hundreds of centers, they are living very peacefully in a nice house, getting good prasādam, having good knowledge in the books, and reforming their character and getting some good home, that is my success. Otherwise, they are loitering—no home, no character, no peace of mind. So at least this is my success. I have given so many boys a life. That is my success."
