Vaikunthanatha: In the Radha-Damodar Temple in Vrindavan I once had the fortune to go into in Prabhupada’s rooms. Srutakirti, Prabhupada’s servant, was kind to the smaller devotees, and allowed us to visit Prabhupada. I’m eternally grateful to Srutakirti for that. Nara-Narayan had told me that the moon was self-illuminated and I went before Prabhupada and said, “Some devotee had told me that the moon is self-illuminated.” Prabhupada pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes for about two minutes. Then he opened his eyes and said, “I don’t find that.”
