Prabhupada speak very much like a patient father with an enraged child
Paramesvari: In Bombay I was living in a house with Tamal Krishna, Brahmananda and Srutakirti. Prabhupada was talking with Tamal and I began to hear Tamal raising his voice, more or less really arguing vehemently against Srila Prabhupada. The subject was that Tamal should go to China and Prabhupada was just speaking so calmly even though Tamal was, in my estimation, angry. I had never heard anyone raise his or her voice against Srila Prabhupada. Tamal was just being incredibly strong in his statements. Obviously their relationship and preaching was very intimate but in retrospect I remember just hearing Srila Prabhupada's patient voice. Tamal would throw out some loud objection and Prabhupada would kindly diminish that objection and speak very much like a patient father with an enraged child who wasn't following his directions.
