With Srila Prabhupada every day

Govinda Dasi : Swamiji returned from India on December 14, 1967. Goursundar and I traveled from Montreal to San Francisco, and were there to greet him at the airport. From that day, until January of 1969, over a year later, we were with him every day. Goursundar gave him massages, and worked on the translation of Chaitanya Charitamrita, and I did the cooking, the cleaning, taking dictation, and typing his letters, transcribing his tapes of Nectar of Devotionand Chaitanya Charitamrita, as well as packing his trunk for travel.

I simply wanted to assist him and make sure he was comfortable in every way possible. So I did whatever I could think of - even making little hats for him to keep his head warm in the early morning hours while he worked, translating his glorious books in the presence of the Lord.
