The pranama-mantra of Srila Prabhupada was humbly recited by his followers in every conceivable instance such as when a disciple was introduced to another swami, or in the occasion of bowing down in any church of place of worship, and sometimes before parents and other startled relatives and friends. When Deity worship began in the temples, devotees bowed down before the Supreme Lord and recited the one mantra they were most sure of,

nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine.

After three years, Srila Prabhupada composed and gave his disciples a second mantra,

namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
nirvisesa-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine

I was in Boston when we received our copy in the mail. Bharadraja dasa, a musically talented devotee, quickly made a nice tune for the mantra, which is still sung by devotees today. A devotee in California wrote to Srila Prabhupada thanking him for the second mantra and commenting how we were such dependent neophytes that Srila Prabhupada had to himself supply us with prayers to our spiritual master. We were all very interested in the meaning of the new mantra. Out of all possible descriptions of his mission, Srila Prabhupada had chosen to state it as "delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism." Prabhupada's mission was our mission-to assist him in preaching the message of Lord Caitanya by attacking the forces of nirvisesa and sunyavadi. The two mantras taken together are themselves a formidable utterance against impersonalism.

Living with the Scriptures by SDG, Chapter 15

Srila Prabhupada walked to the edge of the temple (in Mumbai). There was a building that had remained outside of ISKCON's possession after the rest of the property had been acquired and it was owned by a man by the name of Mr. Ragnaparki so we called it the Ragnaparki house.

Since Srila Prabhupada's last visit, that house had finally been acquired and I was living in the first floor (not the ground floor but the first floor up) and  sometimes you would just have a glimpse of Prabhupada and see his particular expression and it would be so profound and so deep. So this is what I felt, watching Srila Prabhupada look towards that house, but he seemed to be looking to me, he was looking at the whole world; he was surveying the world, Prabhupada had such a thoughtful look on his face and then Srila Prabhupada said, "I want to see the house."

The devotees immediately gathered behind him and Srila Prabhupada started walking towards this house.  This was typical, whenever anything new was constructed, Srila Prabhupada wanted to inspect it.  So Prabhupada walked into the house, he looked in the rooms, he walked upstairs then he pointed toward a door that was locked and he said, "whose room is this?" and one of the devotees mentioned, "Jagat Purush lives there."  Prabhupada said, "open the door."

I immediately unlocked the lock and opened the door and Srila Prabhupada walked in, by Krsna's mercy everything was neat and tidy in the room (softly laughs) and Srila Prabhupada was pleased and then he came out of the room and he wanted to walk up some very old rickety stairs that went up to a little loft area — no one was staying there.  It was very small, just like a little attic area. Prabhupada wanted to go up there and Tamal Krsna
Maharaja said, "Oh, Prabhupada, it's too risky, too dangerous, the boards on the steps are old and we don't think it's a good idea for you to go up there."

Srila Prabhupada just completely ignored those words and went right to the stairway and walked right up.  And what he saw at the top of the stairs disturbed him very much.  In that little, small area between the top of the stairs and a window was an area, maybe six feet by four feeti something like that, and there was a pile of damaged Srimad Bhagavatam books.  Srila Prabhupada did not like that one bit.  These were books that had been damaged with mold because they had been stored in a place that had too much moisture and worms had eaten away parts of the books and these were books which were destroyed and perhaps the devotee who needed to clear that area didn't know what to do with the books so he just put them in this space which was out of the way. Nobody ever would have imagined that Srila Prabhupada would walk up and see these books.

Prabhupada was very, very, very angry. And this was the first and only time that I, personally had witnessed Srila (chokes) Srila Prabhpada's anger — to this extent.  Prabhupada immediately wanted to know, who is responsible for this, how this happened. Some explanation was given to him and then Prabhupada turned around and started walking down these steps and he walked past all of us and Srila Prabhupada's lip was quivering when he was so upset.  It was a very, very, very awkward time, nobody knew what to say.  It reminded me of the pastime of Lord Nrsimhadeva who was exhibiting so much anger that the demigods were afraid to approach Him. And they didn't know what to say or what to do because the anger was soitoo much for anybody to even grasp or relate to.

Prabhupada walked out of the house and he walked towards the back of the property and towards the hut where we were all living and some few months before, we had had the ground breaking ceremony and a cornerstone established, and the stone had been created saying "International Society for Krsna Consciousness — Founder Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada." That stone, somehow or other, since Prabhupada's previous visit had been broken in half and was lying on the ground outside the hut. So, after seeing this pile of books, Prabhupada came to the hut and saw the cornerstone, broken. Prabhupada was very, very upset, also, about that. He was seeing our negligence and our incompetence.

Prabhupada went up to his quarters, we all went about our various services. And several hours later, I came up to the rooftop where Srila Prabhupada would generally go at around four or five in the afternoon and greet guests. I noticed that Srila Prabhupada was smiling, he was so relaxed. It was amazing contrast from what I had seen just two, three hours before. But I knew that the pure devotee's anger is not because of the modes of material nature. Prabhupada was seeing in these books, Krsna, and seeing the neglect of his disciples to deal with Krsna in this form.  He was very disappointed and he had to be angry for our rectification. Nobody who was present at the time will ever forget this concern of Srila Prabhupada's. I can't imagine anyone in that group ever disrespecting any of Prabhupada's books having had that experience.

Krsna appears in this world for two purposes, paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam: [Bg. 4.8] to protect the innocent, religious devotees of the Lord and to annihilate all the uneducated, uncultured asuras, who unnecessarily bark like dogs and fight among themselves for political power. It is said, kali-kale nama-rupe krsna avatara. The Hare Krsna movement is also an incarnation of Krsna in the form of the holy name (nama-rupe). Every one of us who is actually afraid of the asuric rulers and politicians must welcome this incarnation of Krsna: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Then we will surely be protected from the harassment of asuric rulers. At the present moment these rulers are so powerful that by hook or by crook they capture the highest posts in government and harass countless numbers of people on the plea of national security or some emergency. Then again, one asura defeats another asura, but the public continues to suffer. Therefore the entire world is in a precarious condition, and the only hope is this Hare Krsna movement. Lord Nrsimhadeva appeared when Prahlada was excessively harassed by his asuric father. Because of such asuric fathers — that is, the ruling politicians — it is very difficult to press forward the Hare Krsna movement, but because Krsna has now appeared in His holy name through this movement, we can hope that these asuric fathers will be annihilated and the kingdom of God established all over the world. The entire world is now full of many asuras in the guise of politicians, gurus, sadhus, yogis and incarnations, and they are misleading the general public away from Krsna consciousness, which can offer true benefit to human society.
