Show case ecstasy
Nanda Kumar : We did pandal programs in India, and inevitably someone would come in a sahajiya mood, start chanting and dancing with us, and exhibit symptoms of ecstasy like crying or falling on the ground. Once, an elderly, thin man with a shaved head started dancing and doing his brand of ecstasy. Prabhupada leaned over and told one of the devotees, "Go throw a bucket of water on him." Prabhupada saw that his "ecstasy" was just a show, and he encouraged us not to put on a show about devotional service.
