January 8. ISKCON 50 \u2013 S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations. January 8. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
\nBy Satsvarupa dasa Goswami.
\nFrom Prabhupada\u2019s Point of View: Alone in New York City. Suppose you want to tell of your experience in facing a tiger. You were traveling unarmed through the jungle, when suddenly you came upon a tiger. As a narrator, you build up the suspense, \u201cThere I was, face-to-face with a ferocious tiger!\u201d We can empathize with the terror you must have felt, simply by stretching our imaginations a little, we feel your danger. Similarly, we may try to put ourselves in Prabhupada\u2019s position: what was it like for him to come alone to America and to live in New York City? Let us think of those circumstances and appreciate it from Prabhupada\u2019s point of view. In New York, Prabhupada is wrapped up in the preaching mood. He thinks, \u201cMy dear Lord Krishna, why have You brought me here? This place of demons is far away from Vrindavana. But You must have some purpose.\u201d Prabhupada\u2019s disciples find themselves in similar situations when they go to preach in countries where there is no ISKCON temple to support them. Fortunately, by Prabhupada\u2019s work, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness is never very far away from us. Yet occasionally, we are on our own. At times like that, we can remember what it was like for Prabhupada alone in New York City.
