When one of the devotees mentioned that the government had cut all the coconuts from the tall palm trees out of fear that they might fall and hurt someone, Srila Prabhupada scoffed that this was ridiculous. “In India,” he said, “there are many coconut trees, and there is no instance of anyone being hit on the head. Krsna knows when to drop the coconut so no one is underneath. This is a demoniac government, the tree loses its beauty when the fruits are taken off, just as a woman without children loses her beauty.”
