One devotee asked you, “How does krpa-siddhi work, Srila Prabhupada?” At this, you began repeatedly poking him in the stomach, and while he laughed in ecstasy you shouted, “You are not willing to take this, but I say, ‘Take it! Take it! Take it!’ Even you are unwilling, I give it in your pocket, push it. That is krpa.” […]

When I come to India, they say that I am spoiling Hindu system of religion. And when I go there, the Christian says that “You are the greatest enemy.” (laughter) This is my position: If I go ahead, then… And if I go behind, then… So what can be done? I have to execute my duty. I am […]
