May 1968: BOSTON, – Airport departure from New York City to Boston, Walk, Temple activities
“The secret is to be praying while we’re chanting the name of Krishna, ‘Please, Krishna, just place me in the society of Your service.’”
Pradyumna: During that Boston trip, almost every week new faces used to show up from New York.
All the New York devotees would come up – Brahmananda, Rayarama, Rupanuga.
The Boston temple had always been a small temple – three people, two people, five people, six people, but never more than about five or six; but during Prabhupada’s visit there, it was just packed with mostly New York devotees.
I remember the day after the brahmana initiation we all went on a walk, I was also there, and I quipped, “Boston brahmins.”
Prabhupada said, “Ah, yes, Boston brahmins.”
There were six of us that got sacred thread in the first initiation, six men and no women.
Then they raised a fuss and they didn’t show up.
They were so angry that they weren’t going to get second initiation, they didn’t come.
—Pradyumna
Vaikunthanath: Prabhupada would arrive, I think, by taxi.
But in the meantime, the devotees were chanting in the temple there at 95 Glenville Avenue deep in kirtan; and there would be all this frankincense, the whole room was full of smoke.
When Prabhupada would come in, we were literally in ecstasy.
You cannot conceive of the impact that Prabhupada had on us.
Prabhupada’s every move and every gesture, he was just floating in ecstasy, and we could perceive that bliss that Prabhupada was in.
I remember he got up on the vyasasana and he said, “The secret is to be praying while we’re chanting the name of Krishna, ‘Please, Krishna, just place me in the society of Your service.’”
—Vaikunthanath
Rukmini dasi: Once they called and he was coming and Jadurani, who was not much of a cook, asked him if he would be eating before he came or whether they should have something for him to eat when he arrived.
So Prabhupada said, “I am an just like a cow. I can eat in one pasture and then eat in another pasture also.”
—Rukmini
