Be very respectful to the yogis

Hansadutta das: Prabhupada, on another day, he took us all through…not all of us but I know I was with him, and we drove through the city and he pointed out different places where he lived and where his business was and things like that. I remember one day Prabhupada told us that many yogis come here and some of them are very old, up to 300 years, and he said that they appear just like young boys so you wouldn't recognize them. He said two came to see him, and they told him that they lived in the jungle with some tigers. 

Kausalya dasi: I remember being amazed because it was the first time Prabhupada spoke about some of the siddhis that the yogis there had. He told us, "You must be very careful because these are very powerful yogis here, and that many of them have very powerful siddhis and they can go down in the Ganga at the Himalaya and come up here at Triveni. They have the siddhi to be able to move between places." He said, "So you must be very respectful, very careful."
