Srila Prabhupada in Rotary Club

Hari Sauri: In Nellore, Srila Prabhupada went to the local Rotary Club, where a special meeting was convened in his honor. Mr. G. Gopala Reddy, the gentleman who accompanied Srila Prabhupada on his morning walks, and the president of the club, received him warmly, lauding his worldwide preaching efforts.
 
Then, to a small but attentive audience, he delivered a well-rounded lecture on the general philosophy of Krishna consciousness. He finished to polite applause. He was invited afterward to pose for a photograph, the leading members of the Rotary club lining up in back, and Prabhupada, the sannyasis from our camp and myself all sitting in front. It felt somehow special and historic to be part of an official photo with Srila Prabhupada.
