Garuda das: Prabhupada chanting in the temple room in front of Radha-Kalachandji. I’ll never forget this. Prabhupada got into chanting the Maha Mantra over and over and over, and the devotees absolutely went wild. It didn’t start off wild. It started off as normal chanting, we were all sitting down. But it got to a point where it was building up to such a fervor, everyone was running back and forth between Radha-Kalachandji and Prabhupada at the other end because it’s a big temple room. We went back and forth, and it seemed like it went on for an ecstatic eternity. Then at one point I stopped and looked at Prabhupada chanting, over on the side so I wouldn’t get trampled because it was a rather wild group. But I remember looking at Prabhupada and I said, “This is the whole reason he has come, simply to chant the Holy Names.” I have this picture in my mind of Prabhupada chanting. I’d like to die with that picture.
