Are you ready for millions of moons?
Caturatma : It's a well-known fact that in St. Louis at that time we were a little crazy about Lord Nityananda's lotus feet. The history of the Nitai Pada Club and the Lotus Feet Club is well documented. Some people thought we were a little crazy and off the wall but most people realized that we were just devoted. At that time in ISKCON, everybody was laminating everything so I had this laminated 3x5 picture of Lord Nityananda's lotus feet pinned to my bead bag. I also had press on letters on the picture that said, "Are you ready for millions of moons?" This is the translation of Narottama das Thakur's first line of his song in praise of Lord Nityananda. I was on one side of Prabhupada's vyasasana dancing and my God-brother Bhima das was standing on the other side watching Prabhupada notice my bouncing bead bag. He said he saw Prabhupada lean forward, squint, smile and then sit back. I never noticed it but Bhima told me that he understood that Prabhupada approved that we were trying to seek the shelter of Lord Nityananda.
