I am listening
Dravinaksa das: Our little crew of armed guards drove in a car behind him; and on the way to the airport, Prabhupada's car pulled off, he had to use the bathroom at a gas station, and there was a fruit stand near there. So we were all brahmacharis, we didn't have any money, we begged some fruit. When we got to the airport, Prabhupada had a special lounge set aside. So Sudama was cutting up the fruit and giving some to Prabhupada and distributing it to the devotees.
Then Kirtanananda Maharaj came and brought some sweets from New Vrindavan for Prabhupada. Prabhupada liked them very much. While we were waiting for the flight, Prabhupada laid down on one of the benches there to take a little nap, and Jagadisa was reading out loud from the Bhagavatam. Jagadisa had a particular voice which would cure insomnia in any situation, so everybody immediately fell asleep. Jagadisa stopped reading and looked up, and Prabhupada lifted his head up and said, "I am listening." So he continued reading.
