Srila Prabhupada Always Reciprocated Appropriately
Nanda Kishor Dasa: The first time I came before Prabhupada, I was thinking, "Wow, I'm a great devotee." Brahmananda, the temple president of 26 Second Avenue, had made me think like that just to encourage me. So I thought, "Here I am bringing prasadam to Prabhupada", and he's going to say something to me like what Bhaktisiddhanta said to him, that, "You should preach the message of Lord Chaitanya. " Prabhupada took the prasadam I brought, but he did not even recognize my existence. He could do that. It was as if he said, "You think that you're a big devotee" "This is how I deal with you." And if you were actually humble, he might pat you on the head. He always reciprocated appropriately.
