What a morning walk with Srila Prabhupada was meant for!

Yogeswara Dasa recounts:

People had different ideas about what a morning walk with Srila Prabhupada was meant for!

Some people thought it was meant for establishing their position as one of the inner circle. They would always jump in there early; making sure they were the first ones out the door of the van or the first ones out the door of the temple.

So they’d be right next to Srila Prabhupada. Usually he would do then them one better…by turning around and go in the opposite direction so the ones who were in the back became the ones to the front.

Or sometimes there was one disciple in Paris, he had this strange crunched up kind of voice and in his French accent would ask, “Srila Prabhupada so Lord Shiva says in the Shiva Purana …”

Srila Prabhupada just looked at him and said, “Don’t agitate your mind!”, and kept walking.
