Just see, he's a rich man's son, but he's walking without shoes just like a sadhu. He's doing menial service for a poor Indian.

Before going on his walk Prabhupada complained of a toothache, but still he went to Belle Isle. Today there were even some deer in the park, including a beautiful antlered white buck. As we walked Prabhupada told us that last night he had translated a section from the Eighth Canto which stated that in a battle between the demigods and the demons, fighting was so ferocious that blood was sprinkled as high as the sun planet. The moon was not mentioned and Prabhupada said that this was further evidence that the sun is closer to earth than the moon. He again asked the devotees why they have sunday as the first day of the week and then moon-day, in every culture. Addressing Ambarisha prabhu as "Ambarisha Maharaja," he teased him a little, asking him what he thought. Ambarisha said he definitely accepts Srila Prabhupada's statements, although he wondered where the scientists had gone. Satsvarupa Maharaja told Prabhupada that sometimes when they preach in the colleges the question of the moon landing comes up. "People in the classes, when the students say that that they do not see God, there is no proof for God, I give that argument you give. I say, 'Well, I am a common layman, I have no proof that we've actually gone to the moon. At least I haven't gone to the moon. Show me right away that you can prove it me.' They say, 'Well, we have rocks, they brought back rocks.' 'I don't believe that they are from the moon.' They are astonished that we could actually doubt." Everybody laughed. Srila Prabhupada has repeatedly used the moon issue as a kind of litmus test on whether the devotees really accept the Vedas or are still conditioned by the propaganda they hear in school and through the news media. Srila Prabhupada has broken our faith in modern science, there is no doubt. But still it seems many devotees struggle to find a clear understanding on this particular issue. On another topic someone said that they had met a German man in Houston who claimed to be the grandson of a disciple of Srila Prabhupada's Guru Maharaja, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. Satsvarupa doubted the authenticity of his claim, but Srila Prabhupada confirmed that he did have two German Godbrothers?Sadananda with whom he was very friendly, and another?Ban something, whose full name he could not remember. As we approached the car, Ambarisha ran fifty yards ahead to open the door for Prabhupada. Watching him trot down the road, bare footed with saffron-colored dhoti and kurta, Prabhupada turned to us with a smile. "Just see, he's a rich man's son, but he's walking without shoes just like a sadhu. He's doing menial service for a poor Indian."
