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!
