Of course, then they understood. The point is, I mean, it is such an amazing thing. She said, I gave you birth, I gave you my breast to become a vegetarian.

So this was a big shock. I was accused as a cult. It was so far. So understand how Nixon, World War I, he was flying his jet plane. had some some vision and found effect upon he came to india to find out more who he saw he went to the Rana Raman Krishna Prem the voice searching to some act she take it she asked her to that so she came here not Sandhya Singh that she took this was the so that very strictly he followed the Gaudiya Vaishnavas yes that six months in that ashram the winter time in the In the six months, Bhavan regularly came to visit the Radharaman temple.

Association of the Goswamis to learn the scriptures, take the association from him. Hindi then? Yeah. Because he was living in India.

Yeah. He came to Vrindavan in the beginning. He is not, he believe about, but he don't, he not think that he saw, that told to him. He has a Goswami inside the temple.

Yeah. Many temples don't allow westerners to even enter. enter, but our great-grandfather, Sarvabha Madhusudana Goswami and our grandfather, they are very open-hearted and they have told this thing when the Mahaprabhu has given his mercy to all the living entities, why we cannot allow him, who is the devotee and who is the initiated devotee, to go and enter in the temple for the darshan of Shri Radha Ramayana. So, all the senior Goswamis they have discussed and they have allowed him to go in the temple. So, that is very old history in our Radharaman Goswamis tradition that we were always open and we are still very open to all the welcome, to all the western devotees and western people, those who can come for the darshan of Sri Radharaman Ji.

Because we have followed the Mahaprabhu's mission and Mahaprabhu's message that When Mahaprabhu's name we preach all over the world to attract to Mahaprabhu's holy name all the western people they will come. So we have to welcome them in our temple and in our community. In this way, he could have welcomed all the devotees. When the Mahaprabhu has given his mercy to all the living entities.

He made Haridas Thakur, who was the Muslim. When the Mahaprabhu has given his blessing and his mercy to Haridas Thakur and all the living entities and Mahaprabhu has told this thing to Sanatan Goswami So we have to give this mercy to all the living entities, so when the human being, when they have come to darshan of Radharamanji, we have to open our doors, we have to open our heart to welcome them. In this sense, the Krishna Prem, he was very regular come to visit in our Radharaman temple and he has took the association from our grandfather and his great spiritual master, Sri Babakrishna Goswami in our Radharaman Goswami community and all the senior Goswamis. I think that...

So, Babakrishna Goswami, when was he? That is, I don't know exactly, but beginning of 1950 he was left this planet. But I think that Krishna Peep, he left his body in 14th November 1965 in that Ashram, Almora. He was very strictly follow all the Vesna rules and regulations and the tradition.

I'm reading Srila Prabhupada. 1964, I came as a tourist. I was in college here and the first time I entered my ship, thinking about India, Indian way of life actually, within that short period of time. In New York, I would smoke cigarettes the way they do it, you know, the cigarette in the hand. smoke from this way they don't touch the cigarette to the lip so when I went back to New York and I I was smoking cigarettes like this and they say why are you doing this I said but this is how they do it in India In that smoking you have adopted India Yes I was Indian I mean that's the proof yeah why would I want to adopt I was only here for three weeks initiation and would become a in previous life something is a mercy of follow this Ram Lakshman Sita's Deity time to time you have to guide gave this request to your father so then my father has made the plan and devotees they have request to my father he had to also do three times in America and one time he How did he pass away?

My father passed away in 1987. After that, many devotees came and visited my place. They have asked me... Ten years after Srila Prabhupada's disappearance.

Yes. The devotees have lectures and books. I give them pravachandas and lectures. I answer their questions according to the scriptures.

In Poland actually Indra Duryodhana Swami was at some summer camp and some summer festival. At that time about 400-500 devotees were with him. So I was with him and program of that town. So that was the Haridams and Kirtan in that town and the big procession and the big festivals in the tents.

I was there and I have given a lecture about Radha Raman Ji and Mahaprabhu's teaching and preaching. I was with the Indra Dunga Swami. Has any other Radha Raman Goswami gone outside? Now 3-4 other Goswamis they have gone out.

Shastra? What's the sea? Which scripture? Some Dharma Shastra?

Yes. But, if anything is, I want to give this message to the trouble in the West also. That Mahaprabhu has given this mercy. Roopas, you have got this mercy to change this holy name.

In this Kali Yuga, So, sometime in the West, I ask the devotees that you are working on the computer and you are working on the internet. So can you tell me any email address of the Krishna? That what is the email address of the Krishna? So directly we can send our email and directly we can...

Because everyone is sending email. That's the life. To send and receive every day, every moment. so they would is their answer these things is my question so I told that today your internet connection to will chant this holy name inspiring power from this last message I just started this of things so what is his mission his what is she'll prove the option as as myself many have preserved that place This is the people tree. At the time of Gopal Bhatt Goswami, he worshipped the Shaligram Shilas and he hanged the Shaligram Shilas in the basket behind that.
