Anecdote of the Day

Bhakti Caru Swami : What touched my heart the most was Prabhupada's concern for everyone. Prabhupada was strict, but at the same time he was compassionate and concerned. For example, for at least two months before he passed away, Prabhupada wasn't eating anything. Occasionally he took some fruit juice and a little diluted milk, but regularly he would inquire, "How are the devotees eating? How is the devotee prasad?" One day Prabhupada asked me to check out the devotee prasad. I came back and told him that the prasad was not so nice. Prabhupada called the temple president and chastised him. He asked, "Why is the prasadam not nice?" He hadn't eaten for two months, but he was concerned about how the devotees were eating.
