Madhusudana das Remembers Srila Prabhupada
Madhusudana: At one point early on, Prabhupada was recuperating from a stroke. We heard that if he spoke too much, he would get tired and it would be bad for his health. We were concerned, so I wrote him a letter asking him not to speak much. I didn’t want him to get tired. He wrote back saying, “My dear boy, if I would not speak how would you come?” His mission was to preach. How ridiculous it was for an 18-year-old boy, who didn’t know much, to instruct him that way. But he also wrote, “I am taking help and precaution from Gaurasundar and Govinda dasi.” So he lightened the blow. He was being careful, but he didn’t need my advice. |
