You've broken the parampara

Niranjana Dasa: Kshirodakasayi Prabhu, he returned from Vrindavana. Prabhupada also mentioned in one of the letters that, "If you could translate into Hindi, that is your greatest service." From L.A. he wrote that.

When he returned back, Prabhupada was having severe cold and cough in '76. So he asked me to prepare a medicine with honey. Hari Sauri Prabhu was the servant and Harikesa Maharaja was the secretary. So I said, "Okay." I gave one dose, and Hari Sauri Prabhu said, "I know how to make it, you don't have to bother.

So next morning, the guru-puja was going on in the temple and one devotee came and he said, "Prabhupada is calling you." I went there, and he says, "Where is my medicine?" I said, "Your servant said he is going to make it. I know you are sick... First of all, they don't allow me to go to your room." And Jayatirtha, one of the Godbrothers, he was GBC. He said, "You can come to give Srila Prabhupada the medicine." So then I came out.

Hari Sauri was very furious that, "You've broken the parampara, how you can blame about me? First, if you have any problem you talk to servant, and then to secretary, and then to Prabhupada." I said, "I just requested  Prabhupada and for me Srila Prabhupada is the GBC." He was like, "How can you say that?" I said, "Okay."
