That Is Krsna's Mercy!

"When I went to America, I went by ship." Srila Prabhupada narrates, "It stopped at the Commonwealth Pier in Boston. So I was thinking that if 'I say that:
No illicit sex, no meat-eating, and no intoxication, and no gambling -
these people will immediately say, 'Please go home.' "

Srila Prabhupada chuckled and went on to say:

"Yes. That is the position. These are their daily affairs. These are their daily affairs in Western countries. And if you want to make them stop these things, they will think that 'This man is lunatic!'
But by Krsna's grace these boys, these girls, they agreed.
That is Krsna's grace!"

"I did not expect that they will agree. In India they do not agree, and they are accustomed from childhood, from boyhood. So how they will...?
But Krsna's grace is so nice, Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy is so great, that they agreed, and they are pushing on this movement on this principle."
