Anecdote of the Day
Jayapataka Swami : In Mayapur Prabhupada told us that the devotees in the Gaudiya Math are expert at taking care of guests, but we are not yet so expert. He said, "You should take nice care of guests, feed them nice prasadam, give them personal attention, ask them how they are doing and what they need." At that time a VIP came, a commissioner from the government, and Prabhupada said, "Now I will show you," and he sat there and instructed us, "Give him more water, give him more rice, give this…" The person was flattered, "The acharya is personally overseeing my meal." While he was eating, Prabhupada told jokes—we never saw him tell so many jokes. Prabhupada said, "During prasad the talk should be light, it's good for digestion. Do not preach heavily when somebody's trying to eat."
