Prabhupada sings Jaya Radha-Madhava

Hayagriva : Srila Prabhupada walks into a packed courtyard to deliver his lecture. People sit cross-legged, knee to knee. They even line the perimeter of the concrete patio. The monkeys swing to and fro in the branches of the mango tree, and they chatter until Prabhupada enters. Then, astonishingly, they shut up. Prabhupada sings from Bhaktivinoda Thakura's Gitavali: "Jaya Radha-Madhava." Everyone responds, and the courtyard echoes loudly in praise of Krishna. After this invocation, Prabhupada hands a copy of The Nectar of Devotion to Pradyumna and tells him to read from the Preface, where we'd left off this morning. Pradyumna sits very tall in lotus position and wears his glasses halfway down his nose. He looks very scholarly as he reads about the stages of devotional service.
