Srila Prabhupada's reading The Star newspaper

Riddha Dasa: On October 16th, 1975, Johannesburg. Srila Prabhupada sat reading a center-spread article featuring himself in The Star newspaper with evident relish. The Star reporter had followed-up the interview with Srila Prabhupada four days previously, with what amounted to a glowing testimony to His Divine Grace and his mission to help people understand the science of God.

The laudatory article, which appeared in The Star on the morning of 20th October, served as a fitting introduction to Prabhupada's lecture, which was due to take place that evening at Witwatersrand University.
