Srila Prabhupada told to preach in Bangaladesh and Nepal

Prabhavishnu Swami : The last time I got personal instructions from Srila Prabhupada was in July, 1977. We'd been doing big preaching programs in Bangladesh, when some Muslims attacked the temple in Mayapur. The papers in Bangladesh said, "Cruel Foreign Vaishnavas Attack the Timid Muslim Villagers," and the National Security Intelligence arrested us and told us to leave the country. I came to Mayapur and suggested to my GBC, Jayapataka Maharaj, that it might be good to open a center in Nepal. Jayapataka Maharaj gave me a letter, and I went to Vrindavan to see Srila Prabhupada. Early in the morning, I saw Srila Prabhupada on his balcony. He was very ill. I had never seen him in such a condition. He looked thin and was wearing dark glasses, but as soon as I came he began to thank me for preaching in Bangladesh. He told a story about a Bengali poet who went to England but who was frivolous, lost all his money, and had to beg. He got nothing until finally a Bengali gentleman gave him a donation. The poet said to that gentleman, "You've got the courage of an Englishman and the heart of a Bengali mother." Srila Prabhupada said, "Similarly, you should preach with the courage of an Englishman and the heart of a Bengali mother. The British were famous for courage, expansion, and spreading an empire all over the world. In fact, the British even created America. In the same way, you should spread the empire of Krishna consciousness. If you need money, I will give you foreign currency. Preach in these countries. You've got two nice fields of preaching, Bangladesh and Nepal." I said that in Nepal we needed some foreign currency to show the government every month, otherwise we couldn't extend our visa. Prabhupada asked how much we needed, and I said, "Six hundred dollars a month." Prabhupada said, "Take that money. Open a bank account, and I'll send you money every month. Similarly in Bangladesh, I'll send foreign currency, and you can print books and preach. Publicize that this is A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami's money. Ventilate this in the press." Prabhupada used those words, "Ventilate it in the press." Publicize, "This is not American government money, but it is money which I have earned by writing books, printing books, and selling books." In this way he gave his blessings. He said, "Take the courage of an Englishman and the heart of a Bengali mother and preach." That was the last instruction I got from Srila Prabhupada.
