You should become just as famous for being a devotee

Ambarisa das : I paid my obeisances, and Atulananda was there. He gave me Prabhupada’s garland. So I was really nervous, and as soon as I got up I looked at Srila Prabhupada, who was sitting behind his desk. The first thing he said, “So you are Henry Ford’s great-grandson?” and I said, “Yes, Srila Prabhupada.” Then he said to me in a very grave voice, “So where is he now?” So I was a little stunned. My immediate reaction was, “Well, he’s dead,” but then I was thinking that this wasn’t really what Prabhupada was talking about. He was saying where is his soul now, which I didn’t have a really good answer for. So then Prabhupada spoke for a little while, and he was saying something along the lines that Henry Ford was such a famous man. He said, “Now you should become just as famous for being a devotee.
