'Whoah, whoah?'

Jaya Gauranga: I got to go on morning walks with Srila Prabhupada and I remember one time in Chapultepec Park there were some people practicing martial arts. Prabhupada stopped to look at them and said, "Just see. Whenever we talk about death everyone says that they are not afraid of death." Then he said, "So, I say to them, if they are not afraid of death then why are they doing this, 'Whoah, whoah?'" It's difficult for me to imitate Prabhupada of course, but it was very funny the way he made the martial arts sound and of course all the devotees started laughing at his humor.
