Encouraging Master
Yadubara Dasa: The second day I was there Srila Prabhupada asked me, "So you're going to become a devotee?" I couldn't imagine myself wearing the robes and the shaved head so I said no, although inwardly I felt I was. So Srila Prabhupada's reply was, "Then you cannot stay." I was naturally shocked. And I didn't leave, I stayed with the party for two months. Every day I'd sit in Srila Prabhupada's room, and invariably when a visitor came in he'd introduce me. He would say, "This is Mr. John, he is from America. He is an expert photographer." In this way Srila Prabhupada encouraged me, and he could understand I was becoming a devotee gradually.
