Ganga Narayana das Remembers Srila Prabhupada
Ganga Narayana: It was my habit to time when Prabhupada would come out for his morning walk. I would grab a fresh rose, break it off, run around and when Prabhupada came out, give him the flower and he would give me a flower back. One particular morning I was late bringing the rose around and as such Prabhupada’s car was already pulling out. Prabhupada’s car was just about to approach Watseka Avenue from the alley. I was standing there looking towards the car with a wistful look, “Oh, I missed Srila Prabhupada this morning. My day is now going to be ruined.” All of a sudden his car backed up right to me. Srila Prabhupada opened the car window and he held his hand out to accept the rose from me. I certainly was not a big shot in the movement but Srila Prabhupada in his kindness accepted my offering. That definitely made my life, not just my day, my life.
