So even though I met Kabak, her son, I already have an introduction.
So even before I met Shriltabad for the first time, I had an introduction. Christian from Jayavant. Jayavant. Jayavant Jayavant. The question is when you think of his divine race Srila Prabhupada at this moment. When you think of his divine Vishnu Prabhupada at this moment. What is the one advice or incident or activity which you fondly remember? I am sure there are many considering you were his dear most devotee.
When I saw Prabhupada I was overwhelmed.

Body and should go help rose water.
And she would give him rose bouquet.

Praise her and then he would thank her and praise her and all her.
Love.
Acknowledge the roses.
How do you think about Prabhupada? Extremely wonderful.
Everything about Prabhupada was exceedingly wonderful.
Sometimes some call me.
Sometimes someone would told me that he would bow down to Srila Prabhupada.
I love Israel.
And he told me that when I bow down, I should praise Srila Prabhupada.
I should humble myself.
I should humble myself and then ask some question.
So I know that I ask aggressive.
Whenever I would ask a question, I.
Call that I am. I'm a fool.
I'm a fool. You look at me and say yes.
Saying something to Prabhupada. He just really answered.
He just went gate away by saying something to Srila Prabhupada. He would immediately answer Jai Prabhupada Maharaj. So this is the last question. Even though we have so many Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj Dandavat Pranam.
