When Swamiji was in India, Acyutananda das once sent pictures of him on Sankirtan in Calcutta. When we saw Swamiji chanting in the streets of India, all of us were just praying for the day we would be able to join him there. So, of course, Srila Prabhupada knew of my long-held desire to go to India, and one day on a morning walk around Stow Lake he said to me: “So you want to go to India?” And I said, “Yes, very much.” Then he questioned, “What do you want to do there?” And I said, “Any service that you will allow me to do, in any capacity.” So he said, “Now, I am receiving letters from Acyutananda that there is no facility for grhastas at this time, but even though you cannot go to India now, someday I will personally take you there on foot.” From my perspective in San Francisco at the time, I had no idea what that meant, but later we learned that going to a place for pilgrimage is one thing; but until you walk the paths and streets on foot chanting the Holy Names as those before us walked and chanted the Holy Names, you can’t truly experience pilgrimage in India. I thought that was the most hopeful thing I had ever heard in my life.
