Saradiya: On Radharani’s Appearance Day in 1968, Srila Prabhupada came to New York from Montreal. He went into the temple, sat on the vyasasana, and the first thing he said was, “I want to thank Srimati Jadurani for the beautiful painting she did of Radha and Krishna.”
In the Montreal temple there was a big painting of Radha and Krishna and the eight gopis that Jadurani had done. Prabhupada said to Jadurani, “I want you to train all the brahmacharinis to paint.” Then he said to the men, “You should look at these women as goddesses of fortune and not as your objects of enjoyment.” I thought that was very nice.
