Prabhupada just light up like the moon in the sky
Devamrita Swami : The other thing that I remember is upon arrival at the festival site, Radhaballabha, who was in charge of the production at that point, brought Prabhupada a stack of books which had just been printed because this was during the inconceivable marathon so some books had already started to come out. Prabhupada took those books, and I'll never forget what I saw. He was on the stage seated on his vyasasan and I was down below seated on the grass, and I saw Prabhupada just light up like the moon in the sky upon getting those books in his hand. I'll never forget that. Then I remember him lecturing and I remember him saying, "I have given this example so many times. You water the tree at the root, all the branches blossom. You put the food in the mouth, the whole body is energized." I remember at that moment I finally caught it. It finally dawned on me the utter simplicity yet profundity of Krishna consciousness and bhakti-yoga: simply by satisfying Krishna, all purposes are fulfilled.
