Laxmimoni: My husband was in New Vrindavan when Prabhupada had asked for someone to volunteer to be GBC of India. Jagadish Prabhu volunteered himself. I was pregnant and in Toronto at the time. I was so upset that he was going to go to India that I got in my car and drove to New Vrindavan. I went up the stairs and went into Prabhupada’s room, as I was really not happy. After I left I heard from the devotees there that Prabhupada said, “Yes, he must get her a nice apartment. She must have a nice place to stay in Bombay. Get her an apartment in Bombay.” And then he said to Brahmananda, “Just see, the power of a woman is in her tears. By crying she will get what she wants.” (laughs).
