to BVKS Sanga, (Krsna) Katha, (ISKCON) Lipa Dalmacija, Prabhupada Said
It was here, Srila Prabhupada, that you had all the children come one by one by
your desk while you personally handed them a morsel of prasadam. One little
boy, Bhakta Visvareta, was very expert at chanting prayers and could even lead
kirtana. You had spoken with him several times in Los Angeles. However, when he
came before you he became very shy and would not say anything, even though you
tried to elicit from him a response by pulling his sikha and poking him in the
stomach. Finally you had a servant bring a very nice sweet to give him. This
brought an enthusiastic response from the boy, as he eagerly accepted the
prasadam. At this you smiled and stated, "Oh, you are a devotee of prasadam."
