Practically Servant, Not just by Talk

Jaya Gauranga: Another interesting incident happened in Mexico. Hanuman Prabhu had been a sannyasi Prabhupada had sent to Argentina to preach. Unfortunately, in the course of his preaching, he had fallen down from the sannyas order and got married. I think that was probably the first time that a sannyasi had fallen down or one of the first times, so it was a very grave thing. When he came to see Srila Prabhupada he said shyly, “Srila Prabhupada, Lord Chaitanya rejected Chota Hari das because he glanced at a woman in a lustful way. I’m afraid because I also lusted after a woman perhaps you’re going to reject me.” Srila Prabhupada looked at him and said, “Lord Chaitanya is God. He can spread this movement in a moment if He wishes without the help of anybody.” He said, “But I’m just a servant of God and I need all the help that I can get.” He said, “You have rendered so much service to me, how can I reject you?” That was very sweet and touching to see how Prabhupada was so merciful to all of his devotees.
