A momentous occasion

Umapati Swami : On the first day that we went to Tompkins Square Park with Srila Prabhupada, he had me dance holding up the picture of Lord Vishnu's sankirtana. But after a while I put it down. Prabhupada said, "Why did you put it down?" I said, "I got tired." I had no idea what an honor it was to be holding that picture on the first kirtana with Prabhupada in the Western world and what a momentous occasion it was. Of course, we didn't see this as a momentous occasion. Prabhupada did, but we didn't.
