Memories of Srila Prabhupada Nectarian interviews of devotees who have had personal association with His Divine Grace, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. Their stories provide insight into the personality and qualities of Srila Prabhupada, as well as revealing many instructions never before heard or written. The Heart of the Pure Devotee “As Krishna gave us Srimad-Bhagavatam, which has all kinds of stories about Him so that we can develop not just knowledge of Him and His teachings, but also an attraction for His personality, similarly, by hearing these beautiful stories about Srila Prabhupada, we can love Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada explains that unless there is love, we cannot fix the mind. We cannot fix the mind on something we don't love. So we must love Srila Prabhupada. And one of the ways to love him is to hear about him. The stories we hear are significant because they teach us the heart of the pure devotee and the concerns of the pure devotee. And they can melt our reluctance to surrender.“ — Prasanti dasi Part 149 to Part 159 Tamal Krishna Goswami joined ISKCON in 1967 and served as Srila Prabhupada's personal secretary and thus accompanied His Divine Grace on his world travels. Tamal Krishna Goswami left his body in March 2002 and is buried in his samadhi in Mayapur India. Kaushalya dasi was one of the first woman disciples to join ISKCON, meeting Srila Prabhupada first in Hawaii. Most of her time with His Divine Grace was spent traveling with him in India. Revatinandana dasa was initiated in 1969 and soon took the order of sannyasa, traveling with Srila Prabhupada in India as well as being commissioned by His Divine Grace to preach in England.
