Srila Prabhupada gives 20 dollar to Upendra Dasa childerns
Chitralekha: One day in Los Angeles, Upendra, who was my husband and Prabhupada's servant, was in Prabhupada's room when Prabhupada handed him a twenty-dollar bill and said, "This is for your children." Immediately Upendra said, "Prabhupada, we can't take this from you. You're our spiritual master, we should be giving to you." Prabhupada said, "No, this is for your children. I'm not their spiritual master, they will have to take their own."
Upendra brought the twenty-dollar bill home and we knew that Prabhupada was telling us he wasn't going to be on the planet to initiate our children, they were going to have to seek out their own spiritual master. It wasn't an automatic given that all of our children would be Prabhupada's disciples.
