Srila Prabhupada's Conversation with Lord Krishna
Bhavananda : Prabhupada said, "I have so many palaces all over the world that I can stay in. Practically speaking, there's no difference between the Goswamis and me in terms of our lifestyle. They stayed under a different tree every night; I stay in a different palace every night. They wrote, I write. Originally, I did not want to come here." He was not talking about coming to America, but to this world. He said, "Krishna asked, 'I want you to write those books. Come down and write those books.'" Prabhupada said to Krishna, "But I don't want to go to the material world." Krishna said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. You write those books." That was the first and only time that I've ever heard or read where Prabhupada actually spoke about Krishna speaking to him and how he didn't want to go. When he spoke in that way the atmosphere was like nothing I've ever experienced.
