You should rename your airport Hare Krishna International Airport.
Tamal Krishna Goswami: In Chicago, the airport there is called O'Hare International Airport, and it's spelled O-H-A-R-E. So Prabhupada told his leading book distributor, Tripurari Maharaj, "Go to the airport manager and tell them that they should rename the airport O Hare Krishna International Airport." And this was an airport in which our book distributors were so aggressively distributing books that every day there was confrontation between the guards at the airport and the book distributors. So the management of that airport hated us and still Prabhupada made his best book distributor go to the manager, and Tripurari Maharaj went there and said to him very seriously, "You should rename your airport O Hare Krishna International Airport."
Why did Prabhupada do this? Was he trying to have fun with his disciple? Prabhupada, he took every possible opportunity to somehow push forward the idea of Krishna consciousness. His idea was that everything belonged to Krishna, everything. He saw everything as really meant to be glorifying Krishna.
