Memories of Srila Prabhupada Part 152

Memories of Srila Prabhupada Nectarian interviews of devotees who have had personal association with His Divine Grace, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. Their stories provide insight into the personality and qualities of Srila Prabhupada, as well as revealing many instructions never before heard or written. The Heart of the Pure Devotee “As Krishna gave us Srimad-Bhagavatam, which has all kinds of stories about Him so that we can develop not just knowledge of Him and His teachings, but also an attraction for His personality, similarly, by hearing these beautiful stories about Srila Prabhupada, we can love Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada explains that unless there is love, we cannot fix the mind. We cannot fix the mind on something we don’t love. So we must love Srila Prabhupada. And one of the ways to love him is to hear about him. The stories we hear are significant because they teach us the heart of the pure devotee and the concerns of the pure devotee. And they can melt our reluctance to surrender.“ — Prasanti dasi Part 149 to Part 159 Tamal Krishna Goswami joined ISKCON in 1967 and served as Srila Prabhupada’s personal secretary and thus accompanied His Divine Grace on his world travels.
