Padyavali devi dasi Remembers Srila Prabhupada

Following Srila Prabhupada

Interview DVD 07

Padyavali: Prabhupada went onstage. Vishnujan was on the corner of the stage, Bahudak was in front of Prabhupada. Behind Bahudak from the crowd there’s a hand sticking up, that’s my hand. I was standing there with Vishnujan’s mother and Vishnujan’s sister, and I had been explaining to his mother what the harmonium is and the mridanga and how popular and how well-loved Vishnujan was in the movement and how much we appreciated his singing, that he actually was the best. She was very proud of her son. Prabhupada, after he finished his short lecture, he started to throw the roses from the stage. I was hoping that Vishnujan’s mother would catch something, and Prabhupada threw the whole bunch of roses and she caught it.
