No book, no autograph
So one morning Prabhupada gave a lecture, and after the lecture one Indian gentleman came up to Prabhupada. He had just purchased a small book, one of these small Krishna Consciousness Topmost Yoga System was out, and he asked Prabhupada to autograph it. So I was standing right next to Prabhupada, and Prabhupada smiled and said yes.
So the gentleman handed him a pen and Prabhupada autographed the book. So then another gentleman, seeing the opportunity, took a book and asked Prabhupada to autograph it and Prabhupada autographed it. So I was standing right next to Prabhupada. So another man, the third man, he pulls out of his pocket a little notepad and with a pen and he asked Prabhupada for his autograph. Prabhupada looked at him and smiled and said, "No book, no autograph."
