The I Loved Gandhi Pastime ©

Once in Bombay, I was privileged to have a private conversation with Srila Prabhupada about the establishment of Varnashrama Dharma on the roof of his apartment. The days in Bombay were hot and muggy however because we were near the beach the evenings were cool and balmy especially on Srila Prabhupada’s roof. There were coconut trees and other trees that hung over the roof even though we were three stories up. They rustled in the cool breezes coming off the ocean. Srila Prabhupada would settle into his spacious asana (seat), a thick fluffy cotton mattress that was soft and comfortable and bolstered by equally comfortable pillows. Srila Prabhupada always wore a royal visage about him that made his every move exquisitely graceful.

Letters of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

In the following letter to Mahatma Gandhi, Srila Prabhupada advised him to retire from active politics and warned him that if he did not do so, an inglorious death was waiting for him. In this letter, which was written nearly six months prior to his assassination, Srila Prabhupada had proposed that if the Mahatma wanted to do some real good to the people in general all over the world, then he must give up the rotten politics immediately and rise up for the preaching work of the philosophy and religion of “Bhagavad-gita’. But unfortunately, the Mahatma did not pay any attention to the solemn advice of Srila Prabhupada. Had he acceded to Prabhupada’s noble counsel, he would have been saved from dying an inglorious death. (Niraj Bidawatka, Editor)

Please accept my respectful Namaskar. I am your unknown friend but I had to write to you at times and again although you never cared to reply them. I sent you my papers “Back to Godhead” but your secretaries told me that you have very little time t
