Gauri Dasa Pandita : This was on Rama Navami in 1975. Every time Srila Prabhupada turned to the crowd, his smile got bigger. He was so proud of this new temple in his home sweet home.
I became a pujari for Sri Sri Goura Nitai and enjoyed many visits by Srila Prabhupada. In one class he said he wanted all the devotees to go to Vrindavana for at least two years, then go out and preach for 50 years, then return to and retire in Vrindavana, then go back to Godhead. That’s the plan for success brought to us by His Divine Grace.
