Jagajivan das Remembers Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupada Memories
Interview 01
Jagajivan: In Mayapur and other places I started making 16 mm films of Srila Prabhupada. Sometimes I wouldn’t have film in the camera, but I would use it as a trick to go on the morning walks: “I’m filming.” The devotee in charge would say, “The camera crew is okay.” On one morning walk there was a pole sticking up with a bull’s path around it and Prabhupada said, “That pole is a griha.” The bull was connected to the pole and couldn’t leave the area. All our macho grihasthas out there are the bulls connected to the pole.

Following Srila Prabhupada
Interview DVD 07
Jagajivan: Prabhupada actually cried when he looked at the Deities of Gaura-Nitai. This was during a lecture. He was saying how he was very touched that Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai had come so far away from the Holy Dham. Latin devotees are generally very emotional. So when Prabhupada started crying, it was very touching for all of us. Then some girl got up at one point and she said, “You know, there’s maya here in this temple.” So Prabhupada told her, “If you know there’s someplace where maya is not, let us go there immediately. |
