Prabhupada and Meets Mayavadis
Tejiyas Dasa: Another instruction I received was in a letter Prabhupada wrote to me. He said, "Now strain your brain to think of more and more ways to introduce my books to the intelligent class of men." At that time I was alone in Delhi, really alone. No one would stay and no one even came there except to make trouble. I was enduring all that and I was always in anxiety. Prabhupada said, "I always want to hear from you" and told me to report to him regularly, so I reported that I had made ten members of Parliament Life Members.
Prabhupada wrote back "You have opened up a whole new history in Krishna consciousness." I thought, Wow. Besides being sweet and encouraging, the way he wrote it was as if this was earth-shattering news, Tejiyas made ten Life Members! It was amazing what went on by Prabhupada's mercy. The biggest members of Parliament, the hardest to crack, even mayavadis, were inviting Prabhupada to their homes. Kamla Patri Pati, who, after Indira Gandhi, was the most respected person in the Congress Party. He was called Panditji, invited Prabhupada and all the ministers and top members of Parliament to a program at his house. At that program, Prabhupada was on fire as he spoke about Rupa and Sanatan Goswami and how they left their prestigious government posts to take up the mission of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
