Suggested that the devotees consult an astrologer to see whether it was auspicious for him to travel
Despite his physical condition, Srila Prabhupada was seriously considering
going to the West to preach. Tamal Krishna Goswami had first suggested it,
lovingly reminding Srila Prabhupada that there was so much unfinished
business for Prabhupada in this world. He had offered Prabhupada a suggested
itinerary: a visit to London, staying at Bhaktivedanta Manor; then to New York,
Pennsylvania farm, then Los Angeles. Prabhupada had carefully weighed up the
advantages and disadvantages, and suggested that the devotees consult an
astrologer to see whether it was auspicious for him to travel.
The messages came from three astrologers: travel should be avoided, and the
next two months would be the most difficult in Srila Prabhupada's life. So at
least for the next five weeks, keep me very carefully, Srila Prabhupada said
after hearing the reports. But the travel plans were not abandoned.
