I prayed to Krishna to send me one moon, but Krishna has sent me so many moon-like boys and girls.

Rukmini dasi: The New York devotees had just acquired this new temple, the second New York temple at 61 2nd Avenue, and they were writing to Prabhupada telling him that the new temple was just like a palace. And I was feeling a lot of anxiety about this because I was thinking, "Prabhupada's coming and he's going to be so disappointed when he sees this temple. They're telling him it's just like a palace, but it's just another storefront. It's a little bit nicer than the first storefront, but it's just another storefront." I was thinking, "He's going to be angry, he'll be so disappointed, it's going to be horrible." So Prabhupada came in and he sat on the vyasasana and he said, "I prayed to Krishna to send me one moon, but Krishna has sent me so many moon-like boys and girls." That's what he said.
