Mulaprakriti Dasi recalls:
"Srila Prabhupada was in Hawaii and called me in his room as he wanted to talk about book distribution.
Srila Prabhupada asked all sorts of questions: 'How do people like the books? What kind of people were taking the books? What did you tell them?'
It seems that it was his favorite topic; he was so joyful!", Mataji noted.
“So what type of people are taking the books?”, Srila Prabhupada asked.
Mulaprakriti Dasi strained her mind, “Well doctors… young people…diplomats…”
Srila Prabhupada exclaimed, “Diplomats?! What countries?”
Mulaprakriti Dasi tried to go down the list of everyone that had ever taken a book. At one point she said, “Someone took a book from Albania.”
Srila Prabhupada was delighted, “Albania! That’s behind the iron curtain!”
Mulaprakriti Dasi responded, “Yes Srila Prabhupada. They take it in their suitcase; because they have diplomatic immunity, no one can open the suitcase!”
Srila Prabhupada leaned back and started to laugh, “Ahh we cannot go but Lord Caitanya can go!”
