Such an old man and still he is chanting.
Visakha dasi : Yadubara was filming Prabhupada chanting japa in his quarters, and I was taking still photographs as Prabhupada walked back and forth. Yadubara ran out of film so he left the room to change his film, and I was there with Prabhupada.
At one point, Srila Prabhupada stopped walking and he stood in front of a large painting of Jagannatha das Babaji Maharaj and he said to me, "Such an old man and still he is chanting." So I didn't know what to say at the time. But on reflecting on it, I felt that this was Prabhupada's instruction that we go on chanting, that we don't stop because of old age or any other physical reason, but instead we learn to relish the chanting and take shelter of the chanting and understand it as our connection to Krishna and our connection to Srila Prabhupada was following his instructions.
