Power of Krishna Prasad
Two days back we distributed books worth 51 k in a company. Both Panch Pandav Prabhu and myself had taken permission from this company in November and the manager was very favorable and had enthusiastically accepted our salary deduction facility. But on the day of distribution, when the time came to submit the creditlist, the manager, over the phone, became suddenly opposed to oursystem. He gave me the standard excuses like
1) it’s against company policy.
2) he never gave permission in the first place
3) the salaries are directly credited to their bank accounts and they don’t have provision for deduction.
But because I had given a seminar and developed a rapport with him, he said he trusted us and so would meet me the next day. So the next day I took a journey home and a packet of Gaur Gadhadhar Prabhu’s mahaprasad cookies. On meeting him I first gave him the book and the cookies and told him about Radhanath Maharaj's journey home book. Then he said that he had seen Radhanath Maharaj in vrindavan 10 years back and evenheard about krishna from Maharaj. Conversation soon turned to his life and career and he started showing me videos of his hometown bateshwar which has 101 Siva lingas. After about 30 min, he himself asked me to show him the credit list. 11 Seeing it he said it's not possible. But after 2 min he called his accountsman and showed him the list. The man with a tense look first said "yehnahi hoga sir – Not possible". Then the manager told the accounts guy to open the cookies packet and takesome Prasad and then think about it. He opened the packet and shared one cookie between himself and the manager. Then I saw a most amazing transformation. As the accounts guy was biting into the half cookie he would look down into the credit lists 3‐4 times. After 2 min, while he was still munching the cookies, he said " hojayega sir – It will be done Sir"!!!! In fact he became so enlivened that he told the manager that he would do the deduction in one go instead of 2 instalments!!!. All glories to Gaur gadhadhar p's devotional Cookies. All glories to Srila prabhupada.
Nitai Prasad Prabhu, Brahmachari ashram.
