Never put down your camera
Yadubara das: During one of the temple kirtans, I had put down my movie camera and picked up the still camera to take pictures. I took a few pictures and then put that down and joined the kirtan. As I was dancing in kirtan, I turned to Prabhupada. He was motioning for me to come over. So I approached the vyasasan and he said something I couldn't understand because of the loud kirtan. So I put my ear very close to Srila Prabhupada's mouth and I heard the words, "Never put down your camera." Immediately I ran over to the camera, picked it up and started taking pictures. And I've tried over the years, although not always successfully, to carry out that order.
