Rādhā Govinda Prabhu:The story if how Harināma was stopped at the Kolkata airport and how Guru Mahārāja responded with bold but kind preaching - the courage of an Englishman and the heart of a Bengali motherThe best combination for a preacher is to be a mixture of a brāhmaṇa and a kṣatriyaThe multilingual angry man swore in his original language – in hardship do we show our true coloursAction speak louder than words Guru Mahārāja:Śrīla Prabhupāda liked dependable peopleŚrīla Prabhupāda was hands onŚrīla Prabhupāda wanted to see Indiand take up their culturePrabhupāda was disappointed with India and even said he will never come back. He thought of building TOVP outside of India. He came back because of Vṛndāvana.
