Angry on Bhakti caru Swami
At that time, we took it for granted that Prabhupada had come to Vrindavan to leave his body. Tamal Krishna Maharaj told me, "We don't really know what to do if Prabhupada leaves his body. You go and find out what to do from Krishna das Babaji Maharaj." Later that afternoon, I went to Madhav Maharaj's Math, where Krishna das Babaji Maharaj was staying, but Maharaj was not there. I waited for him for a while and then returned. When I came back, Upendra Prabhu, who was Prabhupada's servant at that time, told me that Prabhupada was looking for me. I ran into Prabhupada's room and asked him whether he wanted me to do anything. Prabhupada asked, "Where did you go? Where were you?" I said, "Prabhupada, I went to Madhav Maharaj's Math." Prabhupada asked, "Why did you go there?" His voice was ringing with anger. I couldn't answer. How could I say why I went there? I was silent, and Prabhupada's voice kept on rising, "Why did you go there?" Finally I said, "Prabhupada, I went to see Krishna das Babaji Maharaj." Prabhupada became angrier. He asked, "Why did you go there?" I said, "Prabhupada, Tamal Krishna Maharaj wanted me to go there." Prabhupada said, "Oh, I see," and became quiet. From that I learned a lesson, that Prabhupada didn't want us to go out to anybody. Although he had a good relationship with Krishna das Babaji Maharaj, still he didn't want us to go to him. Later on I learned that Prabhupada said, "If they say one thing different from me, then everything will be spoiled." That's why Prabhupada didn't want us to go anywhere. He was like a caring father who was protecting us from danger.
