to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
I told of an interview that the devotees had with Pisima, (Bhavatarini Dasi)
Srila Prabhupada's sister, shortly after he entered samadhi. She was asked
several questions.
Question: "Do you consider Srila Prabhupada to be your guru in any way?"
Answer: "No, Sarasvati Thakura only."
Question: "Tell us about the time you and Prabhupada were flying kites and he
beat you."
Answer: "He beat me many times."
Question: "If you could pick one quality that best describes your brother but
you can pick only one, what will it be?'
(I could see everyone's mind working trying to pick what she would say. I
thought maybe "pure" "humble" or "bhakti". I didn't have long to think though
because she answered immediately with no hesitation.)
Answer: "He was an expert musician. Any instrument he picked up he could play."
