Water Clay Pot

Srutakirti: In Delhi, Brahmananda Dasa and I were sitting in Srila Prabhupada's quarters. I began drying the floor around Srila Prabhupada's clay water pot, because water was seeping through and collecting on the floor. 'Srila Prabhupada,' Brahmananda said. 'The water is coming out of the pot a little.' "Yes, I believe they call it percolating," Srila Prabhupada said. "Is that right Brahmananda?" 'I really don't know, Srila Prabhupada,' Brahmananda answered.
 
I thought his description was close, but off the mark. We had been brought up hearing the term daily, because our parents drank coffee that was brewed in a percolator. Brahmananda, an English major, looked up the word in the dictionary and found Srila Prabhupada's description to be most accurate.
