Anecdote of the Day
Nanda Kumar Dasa : One chilly morning in Los Angeles, Prabhupada wore his kurta covered with two chadars he had put together. I was a little late and ran out with only a kurta on. Prabhupada walked in Cheviot Hills Park, and I was a couple of steps behind him feeling cold. Prabhupada turned around and like a brother said, "You're cold. Here, take one of these," and pulled apart his chadars. I said, "No, no, Prabhupada. I'm okay." He said, "No, no, you're cold. Wear this." I said, "Prabhupada, these are your chadars." He said, "No, wear it, you're cold." So I took his chadar and wore it for the rest of the walk. Prabhupada was so kind. I felt awe and reverence toward Prabhupada, and Prabhupada accepted that. Lord Chaitanya instructed disciples to have that mood with the guru. That's how the guru assists the disciple to develop love for Krishna.
