Srila Prabhupada and Janaka
Ragatmika das : My son Janaka, who was very young at the time, probably 4 years old. And one morning walk Srila Prabhupada took Janaka's hand in his, squeezed it very hard and kept it in his pocket all through the morning walk.
It was probably Janaka, my son, that spent more personal time with Srila Prabhupada than I did. In the Melbourne temple, he used to go up to Srila Prabhupada's rooms. I would dress him in the morning, and he'd disappear for the day. Prabhupada's assistants traveling with him and the other devotees would be standing guard at Prabhupada's door to his room. So Janaka knew his way in and out of Prabhupada's room, so he would sneak in through the side window and spend the day with Srila Prabhupada. He'd play boats in the bathroom when Srila Prabhupada slept. Sometimes he would sleep under the bed there with Prabhupada, take prasadam with him.
