Dr. Judah and SP
Bahulasva das: Hridayananda was a brahmacari at the same time as I was there, and Chitsukananda was the temple commander when I first joined. So Hridayananda had lots of friends on campus in Berkeley, and Prabhupada encouraged us to do college preaching. We met Dr. Judah and began, he came to the temple, and Srila Prabhupada corresponded with him.
Dr. Judah explained to him the study he was doing to show what the religious conversion experience was like for Westerners, and Prabhupada wrote me back and told me that I should give him full cooperation and help him in whatever way I can. Structure questions and make devotees available for him to speak with so that he could conduct his...?
He did surveys, different devotee surveys, why did they join and so on and so forth. Dr. Judah was very close with Prabhupada in the sense of he sent everything to Prabhupada before it was always published; and so Prabhupada had confidence in him from that, that he was sincere, and Dr. Judah proved to be a very good ally to the movement.
