Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupad
All glories to Gurudev..

Found this amazing leela on Gurudev's first japa in desire tree.. Wanted to share :-)

One day during his talk he mentioned the first
time he chanted japa . A
devotee gave him beads and he went to a
nearby park . He used to do
hatha yoga so he sat in an asana position
and chanted 32 rounds . He
was feeling some ectasy from chanted which
amazed him . After the
thirty two rounds he went back to the
temple. The devotee who gave him
beads to chant on said he made a mistake.
He had given him Srila
Prabhupada' s beads by mistake , and took
them back , giving him new
beads .
