1. Blessed to become a dog

    A young hippie stood up and shouted, "Hey, Swamiji!" People in the audience turned around and looked. "You said if we're not careful, in the next life we'll become a dog. But I want to tell you that I don't mind if I become a dog in my next life."

    "You have my blessings," said Prabhupada, and the young man sat down.
