Tulasi Flourishes where there is love and devotion

The ever-active Mahavira unwittingly provided a bit of light relief this morning for Srila Prabhupada and Dr. Kapoor. They were talking together when Mahavira came into the darshana room on some errand. As he entered, he swung the door and it banged. Then advancing forward, he offered his obeisances, banging his head on the ground. Somehow there was just a tad too much energy in everything, the want of a little finesse.

As he looked up, face slightly red, Prabhupada and Dr. Kapoor were both laughing. With a broad smile Prabhupada told him, "You are just like Hanuman, always jumping, here to there, here to there!" He chuckled and added, "Anyway, enthusiasm is the first qualification. So you go lift mountains for Krishna too."
