Home Minister came to see Srila Prabhupada

Jayapataka Swami: One time Tarun Kanti Ghosh, the Home Minister (the number two person in the state government in charge of the police), came to see Srila Prabhupada. He comes from a family of Vaishnavas. His grandfather said that Bhaktivinode Thakur was the seventh Goswami and wrote a book about Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Now Tarun, his grandson, was a big politician and the editor of a major newspaper. When he came to see Srila Prabhupada, he went behind Prabhupada's desk and tried to grab Srila Prabhupada's feet. Brahmananda was about to jump on Tarun Kanti Ghosh. Prabhupada said, "No, no. It's all right." Tarun Kanti Ghosh grabbed Prabhupada's feet and put them on his head.
