Rukmini Dasi's initiation, Montreal, 1968.

Dinatarani Dasi : In 1968, an initiation was held one day in Montreal for a young girl, Rukmini. During the ceremony, Srila Prabhupada asked Yamuna to chant Hare Krishna, and then he proceeded to chant the prayers to the Six Goswamis by himself. As he continued gently playing karatals, he began to speak:

Today, a devotee is being initiated, so we are praying to the lotus feet of the Six Goswamis, who inaugurated this movement under the instruction of Lord Sri Chaitanya. Who are they? sri rupa-sanatanau raghu-yugau sri-iiva-qopalakau. Just try to chant these six names.

The devotees then repeated this prayer several times with Srila Prabhupada.
