\nIn 1967 at ISKCON\u2019S first temple, at 26 Second Avenue, New York City, Srila Prabhupada had just received a postcard from his disciples in Montreal. The city was hosting the World\u2019s Fair \u2013 Expo \u201867 \u2013 and the devotees were asking if he had any paintings they could display at the Fair. Prabhupada showed me the postcard and asked if we had any. \u201cWell, Swamiji,\u201d I said, \u201cWe have a painting of Lord Varaha just finished by Kancanabala Dasi. But I don\u2019t think people will believe it.\u201d After all, the picture showed Lord Varaha, Krsna in His incarnation as a giant boar, holding the Earth on his tusks and fighting with a big demon. The demon was at least ten times bigger than the Earth itself. Prabhupada didn\u2019t care for my objection. Instead, he told me a relevant story about Lord Caitanya. \u201cWhen Lord Caitanya was thinking of going to Benares, the devotees told Him not to waste His time there. The people there were all impersonalists, and they wouldn\u2019t believe in or take part in the chanting of Hare Krsna. But Lord Caitanya said, \u2018If they don\u2019t like what I have to sell, I\u2019ll take it back.\u2019 \u201d Prabhupada then raised his arms in the air, imitating Lord Caitanya. \u201cSo He chanted Hare Krsna and danced and everyone bought it.\u201d He was impressing upon me, as he often did, to present Krsna \u201cas He is\u201d and not be overly concerned about \u201cso-called public opinion.\u201d

\nIn 1967 at ISKCON’S first temple, at 26 Second Avenue, New York City, Srila Prabhupada had just received a postcard from his disciples in Montreal. The city was hosting the World’s Fair – Expo ‘67 – and the devotees were asking if he had any paintings they could display at the Fair. Prabhupada showed me the postcard and asked if we had any. “Well, Swamiji,” I said, “We have a painting of Lord Varaha just finished by Kancanabala Dasi. But I don’t think people will believe it.” After all, the picture showed Lord Varaha, Krsna in His incarnation as a giant boar, holding the Earth on his tusks and fighting with a big demon. The demon was at least ten times bigger than the Earth itself. Prabhupada didn’t care for my objection. Instead, he told me a relevant story about Lord Caitanya. “When Lord Caitanya was thinking of going to Benares, the devotees told Him not to waste His time there. The people there were all impersonalists, and they wouldn’t believe in or take part in the chanting of Hare Krsna. But Lord Caitanya said, ‘If they don’t like what I have to sell, I’ll take it back.’ ” Prabhupada then raised his arms in the air, imitating Lord Caitanya. “So He chanted Hare Krsna and danced and everyone bought it.” He was impressing upon me, as he often did, to present Krsna “as He is” and not be overly concerned about “so-called public opinion.”
