Crying and Sweeping the courtyard of Goswamis for mercy.

"Prabhupada spread this Krishna consciousness by the mercy of Rupa Goswami. Prabhupada used to pray to Rupa Goswami, "You please give me your mercy.' And then he got that mercy. I know this because I saw some things he did at the Radha Damodara Temple. My room is still located in the same place as it was then, in 1964 or 65. Many times in the middle of the night, at midnight or one or two in the morning, I would hear a voice crying from inside the courtyard by Rupa Goswamis samadhi-mandira. That voice was calling out and crying but I did not know what it was because I was trying to take rest. "But one night, on the full moon, I heard that voice again, so I climbed up to the roof of our house and looked down into the Radha Damodara courtyard. I saw something very amazing. Srila Prabhupada was sweeping the courtyard of Rupa Goswami's samadhi. He was bending down with a small broom and, as he swept the ground by the samadhi, he was crying out, "He Rupa! He Sanatana! He Gurudeva! Please give me your mercy. Without your mercy I cannot do anything. Give me the mercy. Give me the strength that I may fulfill your orders.' Then I realized that it was he who almost every night was calling out as he was sweeping like this.
