Kaulini devi dasi Remembers Srila Prabhupada

Following Srila Prabhupada

Interview DVD 09

Kaulini: In the parade, I stationed myself right next to the wheel of the cart, right next to Prabhupada, and I had my son up on my shoulders. I remember walking the whole parade not leaving that wheel, and regularly Prabhupada would look down and acknowledge our presence and smile at us and my son dancing on my shoulders. You could see Prabhupada was really, really happy. Then a few times he would throw flowers at us, and we would catch the flowers. I remember at that time I thought Prabhupada looked really, really happy. I remember thinking, “I’m walking next to Prabhupada, he’s on the cart, I’m on the ground,” and I felt like I could walk forever, that he gave me the strength that I could walk for time immemorial in that kind of situation. It was really, really nice. And he looked so happy. He looked strong and happy and pleased and satisfied with the whole festival.
