December 29, 1975 : Sanand, Gujarat
Hari Sauri: Prabhupada likes to eat alone and rarely allows anyone to remain with him while he honors his prasadam, as I found out this afternoon. He sat down after taking his bath, and I brought in his plate. He began to eat, so I sat obediently in front, eager to serve. I thought myself very privileged to share the intimacy of Srila Prabhupada taking his lunch.
Prabhupada, however, looked up from his plate and raised his eyebrows, questioning why I was there. He clearly felt the intrusion. And, slightly embarrassed, I left. I could understand he likes us to do things with reason and purpose and not simply hang around.
