Your feet are very nice

Srutakirti: I was alone in Srila Prabhupada's quarters giving him a massage. He was sitting cross-legged on his mat, and I was sitting in front of him massaging his head with sandalwood oil. I became embarrassed because he had been staring at my feet. I felt very self-conscious in the presence of my spiritual master. "So, your mother is very beautiful?" Srila Prabhupada asked. 'Well, she is almost 50 now,' I answered, 'but yes, she was a very good looking woman.'
 
"Yes I can tell," he said. "I was noticing your feet. Your feet are very nice. They say that means your mother is beautiful. I was checking. I wanted to see if it was actual." Srila Prabhupada was always very personal with his disciples. He cared for us, looked out for us, and was interested in us.
