1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

So whatever little success is there, that was only this qualification, that I wanted to serve him. That's all. Otherwise, there was no business of coming here at the age of seventy years.


Prabhupāda: That is his blessing. He wanted—I tried. That's all. Whatever is being done, it is by his desire. Vaiṣṇava sata saṅkalpa. Whatever he desires, that is to be fulfilled. Yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau (ŚU 6.23). Therefore, full faith in guru, that is the prime factor of success. Not any other things, no qualification, no education, only staunch faith in guru. Yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau. Yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ. This is the secret. So whatever little success is there, that was only this qualification, that I wanted to serve him. That's all. Otherwise, there was no business of coming here at the age of seventy years.

Hṛdayānanda: No one could imagine that.

Prabhupāda: You have seen all my room in the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple?

Rādhā-vallabha: We looked through the cracks. They're usually not open. Very inspiring.

Hṛdayānanda: Rādhā-vallabha has one newspaper article when you had just arrived in, I think, Butler.

Rādhā-vallabha: Trivikrama brought it up last . . . two nights ago.

Hṛdayānanda: When you had just arrived, I think before going to New York, and you were being interviewed, and it said the Swami is welcoming lectures, and . . . what was it?

Rādhā-vallabha: I don't remember the exact words.

Hṛdayānanda: It was very inspiring for us.

Prabhupāda: The Butler picture?

Rādhā-vallabha: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Another paper was there, "Ambassador of India's culture."

Rādhā-vallabha: Ambassador.

Hari-śauri: Was that the one you have?

Rādhā-vallabha: Yes.

Hari-śauri: Yes, that was the same article, it's in the Butler Eagle. It shows a photograph of you looking through one of your books.

Hṛdayānanda: Many times the devotees lament that we could not have been there to help you, because there was so much service.

Prabhupāda: Yes, you are helping me.
