Radhanatha Swami : The depth of Srila Prabhupada’s compassion was something that invoked a mood of surrender from my hard heart. He was willing to extend himself and sacrifice himself to give us Krishna consciousness. The compassion and the concern and the love he had for conditioned souls was something that I had never seen before. I lived with several of Srila Prabhupada’s God-brothers who were, like Srila Prabhupada, extremely learned in the sastra. But Srila Prabhupada’s deep, deep merciful nature to give his life for us was something that I had never experienced before anywhere in anyone.
