Morning Walk — November 10, 1972, Vṛndāvana 721110MW-VRNDAVAN [23:07 Minutes] Walk_721110MW-VRNDAVAN Guru dāsa: Prabhupāda on a morning walk, 10th of November.
Devotee: [indistinct] in life. Acyutānanda: What? Guru dāsa: He said he was very bad. Acyutānanda: I saw him also.
I can see no justification for such cruelty. I do not care to see my two Godbrothers who committed such a crime. I feel that I will not be able to control my anger with them. I feel that they should be asked to leave the society.
Whatever your divine grace decides in this matter I accept. [break] Guru dāsa: After the incident with Gopal Gosvāmī. Acyutānanda: Subal and Rāghavācārya [break] he said [break] he was awake and he had a blanket over his head. Subal.
And Subal told him to get up. He stayed up there and was chanting japa. Then Subal threw a bucket of water on him and he just stayed there doing japa. Then he went inside to get some more water and then he [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: That is not [indistinct] required but he was beaten severe. Acyutānanda: I can’t imagine [indistinct] threatened him with a knife or something. He could provoke that but I heard [indistinct] going to hit him with a bucket. Gopal was [indistinct] with a bucket.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Acyutānanda: And throw him out if he hit him but this is severe.
