Most of us went ahead, and Srila Prabhupada followed with a few disciples.

As I prepare for open Heart Bypass Surgery tomorrow, I've been earnestly praying for Lord Narasimha's protection during this heavy procedure. It brings to mind other occasions when He mercifully intervened when I literally had guns to my head.
