A visit to Rose Forkash (now Rajani-priya dasi).
\nGiriraj Swami: Tonight, Swarup Damodar, Sukumari, Nikunja Viharini, and I went to visit Rose Forkash (now Rajani-priya dasi) at her home in Carpinteria. For three hours, she enlivened and inspired us with stories of her and her family\u2019s association with and service to Srila Prabhupada. And Swarup Damodar gave me a wonderful exchange with Srila Prabhupada about her and her daughter, to read out loud:
\nRamesvara: We have one mother in Los Angeles of a girl named Lila-sakti. She\u2019s a big book distributor. And her mother, she loves this movement so much that when the deprogrammers start debating us, she stands up and yells at them that \u201cMy daughter was on drugs, hippie, before she came to this movement. This movement has saved her. If I had known about this movement when I was a young girl, I would have joined this movement!\u201d On television she\u2019s speaking like that, very strongly: \u201cYou have no right to criticize! You don\u2019t know anything about this movement.\u201d \u2026 She says, \u201cYou just come over to my house for lunch and I\u2019ll tell you all about this movement, how nice it is.\u201d She started this club, Parents for Krishna.
\nPrabhupada: Oh, she is very sincere. And her daughter, this Lila \u2026? What is?
\nRamesvara: Lila-sakti.
\nPrabhupada: She\u2019s wonderful girl. She\u2019s expert in everything.
