Prabhupada has the vision to actually enter into the pastime

Chaitanya : In 1973 the acting troupe of devotees known as “The Vaikuntha Players” came to Los Angeles. They choreographed the story of the killing of Pralambasura and it was decided that there would be a private viewing only for Srila Prabhupada in the temple room. I was invited to join the group to sing and play the mridanga for some musical accompaniment. We gathered in the temple room and Prajapati began as the narrator reading from Prabhupada’s Krsna Book. Prabhupada sat on the vyasasana and I sat right down on the floor at the bottom of Prabhupada’s vyasasana with the mridanga. When it came to the point in the play when Balaram killed Pralambasura, I looked up at Prabhupada at that moment, and his face was so expressive as if he was actually seeing Balaram kill Pralambasura. I just thought to myself that, “Prabhupada has the vision to actually enter into the pastime, straight from the Krsna Book that he translated.” I remember Prabhupada said the paintings were the windows to the spiritual world and he said that the dramas made his books come to life.
