A big lifetime engagement for us
Akuti : Srila Prabhupada was listening to a Krishna Book reading. It was the story when Krishna and Balaram were being naughty stealing butter and yogurt. He was really relishing what a rascal Krishna and Balaram were. When it got to the point where They got chastised and then They passed urine on the floor, Prabhupada laughed heartily. You could see his connection with Krishna and Balaram as a cowherd boy. Then we heard doors slamming in the parking lot. Prabhupada said, "Oh, where is everybody going?" The devotees said, "They're going on sankirtan, Prabhupada." He said, "Ah yes, this is Lord Nityananda's movement, going door to door and getting everyone to chant Hare Krishna." Prabhupada was so pleased with sankirtan. That has always sunk very deeply in my heart that in Los Angeles he was always encouraging us to go door to door to get everyone to chant. That has always imbibed in me the foremost instruction of Srila Prabhupada to chant and be happy and make others happy. That's a big lifetime engagement for us.
