I have two favorite places in the world, this Juhu and Hawaii

Aditya dasi: For a very short time we had that flat for Prabhupada, and when he lived there he used to go to the rooftop every evening and give darshan and he'd chant his Gayatri. One time when he went up there he said, "I have two favorite places in the world, this Juhu and Hawaii. Why? Because wherever there are palm trees, that is paradise." At that time, I counted all the trees. We had over 200 trees on the Hare Krishna Land, palm trees, and Prabhupada loved it there. The tenants that lived in the back side, they would line up along the road. As Prabhupada would come in, they would all be standing there ready to greet him and Prabhupada would smile and speak to every one of them. It was such a very nice thing. Sometimes as devotees we had a little problem with the tenants, but they all loved Prabhupada and they must have felt his love.
