Guru Kripa Dasa Wanting To Get Srila Prabhupada's Attention

Guru Kripa Dasa: When the devotees asked Prabhupada questions for the discussions on dialectic spiritualism, I snuck into the room every afternoon and listened. I would hear the champion of the world spar with these past "great" thinkers and watch him defeat them and present Krishna. It was great entertainment and it was life. Then I began to think, "How l can get in the inner circle with His Divine Grace?" And I understood, "I must do something to get his attention." I was going daily for preaching, but I had to do something more. Srila Prabhupada wasn't close with somebody because he liked the way they looked, dressed, or put on their tilak. It was the service attitude that endeared one to Srila Prabhupada. So, Yasodanandan and I went to Bangalore in South India. We preached and learned Sanskrit mantras. We did many things. Then Prabhupada began to write to us.
