Dancing to Srila Prabhupada’s Desire

In England, there were just six of us in the beginning. What happened in two years was incredible. It was just impossible. We didn’t know what we were doing. But we were just enthusiastic to try. That’s really something. So that is what I want you to try to catch—that ray, that moonbeam of Krishna magic, that allows you to do things that you never thought you could do. They are way far away from your comfort zone, but just because you love your Spiritual Master, he said to do it, and with his blessings a lame man can walk over mountains, a dumb man can speak, and a blind man can see. That is the mercy factor, back to the big, huge mercy factor. Sometimes I felt like I was in a play where they use marionettes, and the little guy is dancing, and you flop down, and jump back up. And I felt like we were on these strings, and Prabhupada was pulling the strings and making us dance. While on the Jaladuta, Prabhupada prayed to Krishna, “I am just like a puppet in Your hands, so if You have brought me here to dance, make me dance, make me dance, make me dance as You like.” And that is actually what I have felt in my whole Krishna conscious life—that Prabhupada was allowing us to dance the dance of Krishna consciousness. And that is the parampara system. That is the power of the parampara. So juicy. So nectarean.
