Before leaving India for America, Srila Prabhu-
pada spent nearly a decade in his humble quar-
ters (1) at the historic Radha-Damodara
temple, in Lord Krsna's land of Vrndavana.
Here he studied and began translating the Vedic
literatures, kept the memory of his spiritual
master (whose portrait graces the wall), and
made plans for executing his spiritual master’s
order— “Spread Krsna consciousness
throughout the English-speaking world.” “His
Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupdda is doing great work," Prime
Minister Shastri said during this time (2), “and
his books are significant contributions to the
salvation of mankind.” In 1965 Srimati Sumati
Morarjee (3), the head of India’s largest
shipping firm, gave Srila Prabhupada

Sree passage to America.
