Pleasing Prabhupada

Gargamuni Dasa: So he reads some of the scholars, in Maharashtra, "The chief minister and Education Minister have approved of our movement, and on the basis of these letters, I sent our devotees to five district towns, and they secured thirty-two standing orders in three weeks." A standing order at that time made means every book that we ever published, and at that time we had about 25 different books, so 32 times 25 is hundreds of books in three weeks, and these are hardbound not softbound. So Prabhupada says, “May Krishna bless him, you are doing a very tremendous job.” So I'm pleasing Prabhupada, that's our duty. “Yes, Krishna's blessings are thereupon you. He is dictating the organizing capacity, do it very…” So Prabhupada is saying Krishna is dictating the organizing capacity, “do it very nicely. Palika is the manager,” she was a female devotee, "and she is very active and happy and busily engaged in keeping all the files properly." And Prabhupada said, “Oh, now she has the right appointment, she's a very intelligent girl, you give her proper assistance, she can do very nice work.” See, he's praising and I wasn't afraid to have a female assistant, of course, her office was separate from mine.
