Srila Prabhupada would always want Vishnujan to lead kirtan

Bahulasva das: When I would come down from Berkeley to L.A. to see Prabhupada, you would fall asleep in the brahmacari ashram to Vishnujan playing harmonium and then you would wake up in the morning to Vishnujan playing harmonium. You would never know if he ever even slept. Maybe he did, I'm not saying he didn't sleep, but that was how nonstop Krishna conscious Vishnujan was. You sensed that about being in Vishnujan's presence, that he was just an otherworldly being. To see Vishnujan and Srila Prabhupada was the most wonderful thing to watch. Of course, everybody wanted to have Prabhupada lead kirtan when Prabhupada was there, but Srila Prabhupada would always want Vishnujan to lead kirtan. And when they would look at each other, you'd start crying sometimes just to see Prabhupada and Vishnujan looking at each other. There was just so much love the way Prabhupada would look at him. You never saw anybody ever look at anybody like that. Vishnujan would always be emotional and get teary-eyed.
