Parker - English & Bengali
Gopal Ghosh: Once I visited Prabhupada in his room at Radha-Damodara in 1960. He was a sannyasi and sitting on the floor at a small desk, writing a Bengali Gita with an American Parker fountain pen. Prabhupada held up the pen to show me and told in Bengali 'Par-kar'. In Bengali, Par - means bhava sagar, the ocean of birth and death. And kar - means to cross over the river by boat. Then Prabhupada said, "So Gopalji, by always doing Hari Nam Sankirtan, Lord Krishna will carry you across the ocean of repeated birth and death."
