1. Dogs and cats get Srila Prabhupada’s mercy

    Prabhupada: So nice movement. Even dogs take part, I have seen many times. They like the sankirtana. That is a fact. The dogs also circling, and if anyone attempts to dance, "Kaa-kaa…"

    Govinda dasi: I remember there was one dog in Ka'ava that was very fond of you. Each morning whenever you took your walk, there was one big dog, he would come.

    Prabhupada: Yes.

    Govinda dasi: Do you remember?

    Prabhupada: Yes.

    Govinda dasi: That dog disappeared soon after you left.

    Prabhupada: Accha?

    Govinda dasi: He disappeared. And do you remember that one cat that used to run under your feet as you took your walk in the morning, that little cat that we had there?

    Prabhupada: Yes.

    Govinda dasi: And you were always making fun that… Actually, I didn't want it, but it had come there, you know. It died the night after you left. [laughs] So I think they took some better body.
