Solitary bhajan at Radha-Damodara

Mahanidhi Dasa: The disciples saw many old copies of his Hindi BTG, Bhagavat Darsan, and other manuscripts still lying in Prabhupada’s room. Where Prabhupada had once sat alone and dreamed of a worldwide Krishna conscious movement, he now sat with forty initiated Western disciples, members of his International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada spoke intimately about the days of his solitary bhajan at Radha-Damodara: “Everyday I was going to the samadhi of Jiva Goswami and Rupa Goswami, and also praying to Rupa Goswami to write down these three volumes of Bhagavatam. And this is the place where I was actually writing in my room. I was circumambulating the temple everyday and offering obeisances to the samadhis of Rupa Goswami and Jiva Goswami. And by their mercy I was praying to Radha-Damodara that I should fulfill the desire of my guru maharaj, and go to the Western world and preach.”
