Prabhupada sat quietly and honored prasadam
Srutakirti das : I remember the first time going to Mayapur with Prabhupada. It was just one carload of devotees. It was just Prabhupada, myself, his secretary and/or maybe two cars, then a few other devotees. We prepared prasadam and stopped at the mango grove, and it grew into a really big ritual here with dozens of devotees. But it started out very simply.
It was a very beautiful place and it was nice, it was the halfway point on the way to Mayapur. The first time I went to Mayapur with Prabhupada, there was just a thatched roof goshala where Prabhupada stayed. So things changed quite rapidly, and this also changed from just a few devotees into a caravan of vehicles headed to Mayapur. But, again, the principle of it was always the same and Prabhupada taking prasadam, still that same consciousness was there. Prabhupada sat quietly and honored prasadam.
