1970 November 9: "Universities are very important. There they can appreciate our philosophy. When you speak in the classroom, just quote from my books and explain in your own words. They will appreciate very much."
Prabhupada Letters :: 1970

1973 November 9: "I was sick when I left Calcutta for London. For the time being I am keeping my health. So after all, this is an old body. I am 78 years, and still by the grace of Krsna it is going on."
Prabhupada Letters :: 1973

1975 November 9: "We have to request them humbly to correct if there is any discrepancy, not changing or dismissing. Our whole process is to humbly request and like Nityananda Prabhu sometimes falling down on the feet and flattering."
Prabhupada Letters :: 1975

1975 November 9: "The temples should save more and not exceed expenditures. Our principle is tyaga, to renounce material activities as far as possible. It is not good that all the temples are spending more than they are receiving."
Prabhupada Letters :: 1975

Bhaktivedanta Manor’s week-long celebrations of Srila Prabhupada continued with Giriraj Swami reading and speaking from Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.2.31 in the morning class.

“Srutakirti prabhu asked Srila Prabhupada, ‘We know that you have preserved basic principles that have come to us through scripture and parampara and made adjustments only in the details. Now, how do we distinguish what is a principle and what is a detail?’ Srila Prabhupada paused and replied, ‘That requires some intelligence.’ It is not so easy, and it is not for us to do. It is for empowered acharyas like Srila Prabhupada to do.”

Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.2.31 Class

Of all the holy places in the universe, Vrindavan is most sacred. Of all sacred places in Vrindavan, Govardhan Hill is supreme. The topmost places on Govardhan Hill are Radha kunda and Syama kunda. Our great fortune was to traverse such transcendental grounds – all the while begging for mercy.

Well, it’s a boxcar, so I had to take a photo of it. I’ve been through here four times, and have photographed it with each pass. This was my first with film, though. You can see an old doctored one here, taken in 2004.

I don’t seem too chatty this week. I apologize.
