Pushpavan das Remembers Srila Prabhupada

Following Srila Prabhupada

Interview DVD 09

Pushpavan das: All the devotees rushed to the arrival gate to meet Srila Prabhupada, and Ambujaksha, who had never seen Srila Prabhupada, turned to me and said, “What should I do? Where should I go? Tell me what to do.” He actually said that to me, “Tell me what I should do.” I said, “Ambujaksha, just go stand by the asana that’s been set up for Srila Prabhupada because you know he’s coming there, and you can position yourself right next to Srila Prabhupada.” So we agreed, and we both went there. So as Srila Prabhupada came and sat down, a devotee lady approached Ambujaksha with this huge plate of fresh-cut fruit for Srila Prabhupada and gave it to Ambujaksha. So Ambujaksha offers the plate to Prabhupada. Prabhupada takes one fruit, pops it into his mouth, and then does the Bengali drinking style with the water. And for Ambujaksha it was just perfect.
