Parents worldwide testify that Krishna consciousness transforms their children into devoted, ethical, and genuinely happy servants of God.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Rādhā-vallabha: I have questions from the artists. Prabhupāda: Hm? Rādhā-vallabha: Questions from the artists. This is for Ninth Canto, Volume One. This is Mahārāja Ambarīṣa performing abhiṣeka on the altar. Muralīdhara will be painting this.
And he has these musicians in the foreground. They will be off in a little bit of shaded area, and he wants to know if that’s appropriate to have them like that. Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. It is all right. Rādhā-vallabha: In front of the Deities. Jaya.
There are some other things. Is it all right now? I have Sanskrit questions, but I think I can give those to Pradyumna. It is for Ninth Canto.
This is some question from Baradrāj, about, erm… He has questions and also a letter. Shall I read you the letter? Prabhupāda: Hmm-hm. Rādhā-vallabha: [reading] "Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet. Having received your divine order dated September 18, 1976, indirectly from Rāmeśvara Mahārāja, I have taken it as my life and soul. The order was to finish this theistic exhibit before the Māyāpur festival.
This will be done, because I understand that with every order of the spiritual master the disciple also receives the blessing to carry it out. I am the most unqualified to do it, but I am hoping that you will bless me so that I can please you. There is a lot of hard work involved, and much detail to attend to, so all your sons and daughters who are involved in this project are working with great dedication and sacrifice. Seeing their enthusiasm I am gladdened, and I understand that Kṛṣṇa is giving His sanction.
I am herewith sending an excerpt from the narrative which will accompany the exhibit of Your Divine Grace writing in the Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple. I would like to beg Your Divine Grace to recite onto a tape the passage encircled." He’s… That's over here. We have got a better tape recorder to do it with than this one. It is a short thing.
Hari-śauri [indistinct]. "We also request that you kindly write those words down on a sheet of white paper. The passage was taken from your Introduction to Bhagavad-gītā." Remember the mūrti that you saw when you were in Los Angeles of you writing? Prabhupāda: Yes. Rādhā-vallabha: Well, they want to get… They want you to say the verse as much as possible, and that will be part of the soundtrack for the exhibit; it will be you thinking. And they want you, if possible, to write all of it or some of it in your handwriting, so that the mūrti can actually be there with the pen, and the writing will be there.
