There goes Brahma Rupa's spiritual life

Tirtharti : I was with a devotee named Brahma Rupa, and both of us were hankering for Prabhupada's association. Once, Brahma Rupa had a bright idea. He got a pail full of flower petals to shower Srila Prabhupada when he came out the door. But Brahma Rupa was so nervous that he made the petals into a ball and hit Prabhupada on the head with that ball. I thought, "There goes Brahma Rupa's spiritual life. That's it for him." But Prabhupada just folded his hands. We said, "Jaya, Srila Prabhupada!" It was wonderful.
