Prabhupada like a living, breathing Srimad-Bhagavatam!

Hari Sauri : As Srila Prabhupada's servant, the first instruction he gave me was, "Now your only business is to be with me twenty-four hours a day." I took that quite literally except, of course, when I was asleep. When we were in Vrindavana for ten days, I was able to live in his quarters, and I was with him day in and day out. I got a chance to observe everything that he did, everything that he spoke, and every little action that he made. One of the first things that struck me very strongly was that Prabhupada was like a living, breathing Srimad-Bhagavatam.

In the Bhagavatam and in volumes and volumes of other books, there's a full description of what it means to be Krishna conscious, and if you read them it might seem as if it's going to take a long time to realize such a vast subject as Krishna consciousness. But it was all there in Srila Prabhupada at every moment. I understood that, and I resolved to take advantage of the opportunity to see him as much as possible. By observing how he did everything, how he managed things, how he spoke, how he walked, how he relaxed, how he dealt individually with different people showed me the best example of Krishna consciousness.
