Why is Srila Prabhupada so wonderful? There are one billion Indians. It’s not that Indians are wonderful. Bengal is one of the largest states. You can find many Bengalis that look similar to Srila Prabhupada. There are many gentlemen; at least it used to be when I was there. Things are changing. But there are many aristocratic gentlemen in Bengal. There are even religious scholars. But Srila Prabhupada had one quality. Srila Prabhupada had Krsna, and he took a lot of pain and trouble to give Krsna to us. That was his mercy, his humility, and his compassion. He took the trouble to associate with Yavanas, Mlecchas, Candalas, Kiratas, Hunas, Pulindas, Pulkasas . . . all the lower species.
