               i Worship ÇréLA prABhupädA




           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who to a young man who declared “I
           am God” roared back, “You are not God! You are a dog!” 1
           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who at a meeting of influential
           Hindus in Japan suddenly shouted “Stop him!” in the middle of
           their Mäyävädé guru’s speech. 2
           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who matter-of-factly told a press
           reporter that the supposed astronauts could not travel to the moon
           because the moon is farther from earth than is the sun. 3
           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who told us to make great propaganda
           on two points: the scientists have not gone to the moon and they
           cannot even manufacture a chicken egg. 4
           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who ordered that Life Comes from Life
           be printed and widely distributed as an unabashed assault on the
           cheating of the pseudo-scientists. 5

           I  worship  Çréla  Prabhupäda,  who  said  “I  cannot  make  any
           compromise. So long I shall live I shall make no compromise. Why
           shall I mislead people?” 6

           I worship Çréla Prabhupäda, who never tired of teaching “You are
           not the body. You are an eternal servant of Kåñëa, the Supreme
