Fifth and Seventh Cantos of the Srimad Bhagavatam: completed
Nischintya Dasa: Prabhupada finished the Fifth and Seventh Cantos of the Srimad Bhagavatam in Hawaii, and he started the Sixth and Eighth Cantos there. At the end of the Seventh Canto, he wrote, "Completed on the night of Vaisakhi Sukla Ekadasi, the tenth of May, 1976 in the temple of the Pancatattva, New Navadvipa (Honolulu) by the mercy of sri-krishna-chaitanya prabhu nityananda sriadvaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda. Thus we may happily chant Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare! Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare."
In the beginning of the Eighth Canto, he writes about how he has faithfully tried to publish these books on the order of his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, and he asked all the devotees to help him continue to publish more and more volumes of Srimad-Bhagavatam. That was written in Hawaii, and we proudly thought, "Prabhupada translates here more than anywhere else in the world. Prabhupada loves coming to Hawaii." Prabhupada would make us feel very special in Hawaii. I think he really did like Hawaii and the devotees reciprocated with that mood. We would do whatever we could to make it special for Prabhupada.
