\nSatsvarupa dasa Goswami: The Perfect Disciple.
\nSrila Prabhupada told us many things about his relationship with his spiritual master. One time, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura reprimanded him when it appeared that Srila Prabhupada had diverted his attention from his Guru Maharaja\u2019s lecture. When they first met, Srila Prabhupada debated with Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati about India\u2019s independence. Prabhupada told us, \u201cI liked being defeated by my spiritual master.\u201d He dreamt of his spiritual master, too, mostly the same serious dream, in which Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati told Srila Prabhupada to take sanny\u0101sa.
\nHis spiritual master praised him highly on a number of occasions for his attentive hearing, and for his poetry and prose writings. He said, \u201cWhatever he writes, publish it.\u201d When Srila Prabhupada\u2019s godbrothers asked Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati to make Srila Prabhupada the president of the Bombay Temple, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura said, \u201cIt is better that he lives outside your company. He will do everything himself. You do not have to recommend him.\u201d
\nAfter their first meeting, Srila Prabhupada had to travel away on business, but he often thought fondly of his spiritual master. Of course, they had some personal meetings in which important things were conveyed to our Srila Prabhupada, especially his Guru Maharaja\u2019s order, \u201cIf you ever get money, print books.\u201d Then, near the end of his Guru Maharaja\u2019s life, they exchanged letters. Srila Prabhupada asked, \u201cHow may I serve you?\u201d And his spiritual master replied, \u201cYou can explain in English our thoughts and arguments. This will do much good to yourself as well as to your audience. I have every hope that you can turn yourself into a very good English preacher if you serve the mission.\u201d
