Introduction
few remembrances were to publish them, the world would then
have a vast treasure of informative, instructive, and enlivening
narratives—a significant record for posterity.
In the early days of ISkcoN most devotees were absorbed in a
variety of services, and record-keeping was practically the last
thing on anyone’s mind. (Hari Çauri Prabhu, having the foresight
to keep notes, was an exception. No one else possesses such
extensive, coherent, and historically reliable records of their
association with Çréla Prabhupäda.) Therefore, in recalling the
following incidents twenty years after they occurred, despite
attempting to retain historical and chronological accuracy,
I must admit that within my mind the particulars of Çréla
Prabhupäda’s visits to England in 1975 and 1976 have become
conflated, and hence these accounts may be considered a
personal meditation rather than authoritative history.
In this book I have also included some thoughts and realizations
about Çréla Prabhupäda and his movement, as well as all the
Vyäsa-püjä homages I have written to date.
All glories to His Divine Grace Çréla Prabhupäda!
