Shyamasundar das: So when he arrived, we were very worried that he wasn’t feeling well. Here we are pulling up to the beginning of the parade. I’m driving the car and Prabhupada is getting out. I continued in this car through the whole parade following the cart in case Prabhupada needed to be taken to rest somewhere. Here he has arrived from Calcutta overnight on the plane, he hasn’t rested at all.
So we figured either he can sit on the cart for a while and then get off and we’ll put him in the car and take him somewhere to rest, but he surprised us all and never even got up on the cart to sit. He danced and walked the entire distance for hours on a hot July day in London, muggy day. Then at the end he sat up on the lions at Trafalgar Square and talked and preached strongly. What an effort. Our efforts pale by comparison.
