Once we were with Prabhupada at the airport and all the devotees were with Prabhupada and just staying with him and taking care, etc., but I thought, “Oh, this is a good chance to distribute Bhagavad-gitas and have someone get a book autograph by Prabhupada.” So instead of staying with Prabhupada I went out and sold a Bhagavad-gita to one man. Then I brought him to Srila Prabhupada, and Prabhupada autographed it for him. So on that occasion Prabhupada was very happy that I was distributing books.
