His Instructions, Grace, Lotus Feet.... all at first time !!

Radhanatha Swami: After Prabhupada had lectured, he got up and started to walk off the stage. As he walked by me, I reached out to touch his feet, because I was taught you're supposed to touch a holy man's feet and place the dust upon your head. But one of his senior disciples yelled at me, 'No one is allowed to touch Srila Prabhupada's feet'. Very embarrassed, I pulled my hand back. Prabhupada looked at me, smiled, and gave me my first instruction. He said, "You can touch my feet." I touched his lotus feet and placed the dust on my head. He smiled very mercifully and told me, "You come and sit here every night."
