Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

You must go to hell. (laughter).


Morning Walk -- December 7, 1975, Vrndavana:

Akṣayānanda: . . . from Agra came yesterday, Prabhupāda. He wants to live with us. He knows Hindi. He's a teacher. He's a doctor. He's a writer. He's very, very nice. I'll bring him to you today.

Prabhupāda: He knows English also?

Akṣayānanda: English very well. Very humble, and he wants to teach. If he can stay in Vṛndāvana I think it will be very, very beneficial for us.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Akṣayānanda: Wonderful. I'll bring him this morning if it's all right.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Akṣayānanda: Jaya. He bows down. He pays dandavats. He said: "You're a sannyāsī, so I must respect. I'm only a gṛhastha."

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is the duty.

Akṣayānanda: And he is also very intelligent. He's not just doing it out of sentiment. Very nice man. Older man.

Prabhupāda: If a sannyāsī is not offered respect, the punishment is that he should fast one day. That is śāstric injunction.

Guṇārṇava: What is the punishment if one doesn't fast?

Prabhupāda: You must go to hell. (laughter) (break)
