The Hare Krishna Movement

He just listened with his eyes closed. And devotees got to see streams of tears coming down his cheeks.

Mukunda Goswami: Actually there is an interesting story that I wrote about. It took place when “Govindam” first came out, when the recording was first released.

I was in England, and she [Yamuna] was in England, and we sent this recording to the devotees in Los Angeles to show how we were really preaching big time to the Beatles, and we did this record, and so on and so forth.

But the devotees in Los Angeles didn’t want Prabhupada to hear this because they thought it was very strange that a woman’s voice would be leading the Hare Krishna mantra. And so they didn’t let Prabhupada hear it.

So one morning, just before the greeting of the Deities, Prabhupada was sitting on his vyasasana .

When the Deity doors open in Los Angeles, there is a big billow of incense smoke from the doors, it kind of pours out like a big cloud coming out.
