So you come every year, take inspiration here in the holy dham
Praghosa das: I went into Prabhupada's room, and I wanted to personally say to Srila Prabhupada, "Thank you for bringing us to Mayapur." So in the darshan, we're all sitting there listening and when it was over, everybody offered their obeisances. So I stayed down on the floor longer and offered my obeisances very, very slowly so that when I stood up, pretty much everybody was out of the room. So I walk forward to Prabhupada sitting at his desk and he was going to drink some water, and I stepped forward and I said, "Srila Prabhupada," and he was just about to drink and he said, "Yes" I said, "I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for bringing us all here to Mayapur."
Prabhupada sipped a little water and he said, "Oh, I have not brought you. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and my Guru Maharaj, they have brought you." He said, "Mayapur, Vrindavan, this is your home. The West, that is for preaching." Then he drank some water. When he stopped drinking the water, he looked back at me and he smiled and he said, "Or for sense gratification." He said, "So you come every year, take inspiration here in the holy dham, and then go back to the West and preach vigorously. And then come back again and take inspiration."
