Prabhupada looked at the young boys and girls before him. ?So, you want to bewith Krishna? You can play with Krishna like this.? He indicated with his hand thepicture of Krishna taking lunch with his cowherd boyfriends. ?You can play withKrishna, you can go with Krishna, you can be with Krishna.?Srila Prabhupada had once described such pictures as ?windows into thespiritual world?. He spoke on, describing Krishna?s various pastimes as depictedin the paintings. The devotees knew this was a special time to be withPrabhupada. Remembrance of these rare moments would stay with them andstrengthen their resolve to become Krishna conscious. It was clear thatPrabhupada was seeing more than they. But one thing was certain: while theywere seeing paintings, Srila Prabhupada was personally seeing, face-to-face, thebeautiful form of Krishna.
