Krishna Consciousness and Happiness
Bhutatma Dasa: Prabhupada wanted everyone of his disciples as well as people in general to become happy. That was clear to me when I received my first letter from Prabhupada. I had written to him expressing my commitment to Krishna consciousness, how I was becoming happy following this process, and requesting initiation from him.
In Prabhupada's reply, he wrote that he'd accept me as a disciple and he wrote, "I'm so glad that you're becoming happy." From his enlightened perspective, Prabhupada saw that the only way to become happy was by realizing our constitutional position, and as we started to experience that even in a limited way, he encouraged us. The first time he communicated with me Prabhupada made that point.
