26 2nd Avenue was like the Srivasa sangat

Achyutananda: A lady asked Prabhupada, “But I have so many doubts.” He said, “Doubt is a symptom of intelligence. Keep asking questions. This is not blind faith.” But then after that crazy man had confronted Prabhupada in his room, he told us, “Do not bring up any crazies.” This was the first time that he was giving us some responsibility in that we had to know who to bring and who not to bring to him. At that time Prabhupada was reading Caitanya-caritamrita and he was discussing the chapter of Srivasa-sangat where only special devotees of Mahaprabhu were allowed into that association. So the storefront on 26 2nd Avenue was like the Srivasa-sangat to us.
