Prabhupāda would sometimes come and mostly attend Bhagavad-gītā classes. Sometimes in Vṛndāvana He would come and listen to His students speak, and you'll hear on some recorded lectures, Prabhupāda would defer to Pradyumna. Like once, Prabhupāda was sick, and He asked Pradyumna, "You speak." He didn't let him speak that long, but Prabhupāda did attend classes, and He set an example of what you talked about before, and what Viṣṇu-gadā Prabhu was referring to, when somebody's asked to speak there, they've been given that service. One should, as Prabhupāda says, "If you write about Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you should write as a servant, not think that I'm going to become a famous author or famous devotee, because I wrote something and I wrote more books than somebody else." You should think that "I'm doing this as a service," or actually, first off, it's for self-purification. And if one is asked to speak, one should speak for self-purification, and one should feel that one is fully authorized, having been instructed to speak. So, Prabhupāda set that example Himself.
