My pronunciation...

Visakha Dasi: February 29, 1972, was Gaura Purnima, the celebration of Sri Chaitanya's appearance, and ten of Prabhupada's godbrothers joined us on the pandal stage before a large audience of Bengali pilgrims. Yadubara and I received a second initiation from Prabhupada, giving us the privilege to chant the holy Gayatri mantra. I photographed Yadubara receiving instructions on the mantra from Prabhupada, and Yadubara photographed me doing the same. Prabhupada patiently showed me how to count the mantras on my fingers and, in his distinct way, pointed to and recited each sacred word written on a small piece of paper as I repeated after him so that my pronunciation was distantly correct.
