from Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita (ch 52)
Tamäla Kåñëa wanted to double check to see that Prabhupäda actually wanted
all the G.B.C. men from all over the world to come. It would be costly and
demanding, so he wanted to be sure that Prabhupäda really wanted it. When Çréla
Prabhupäda assured him that he did, Tamäla Kåñëa, who saw his service as
responding to whatever Çréla Prabhupäda desired, also spoke in favor of the
idea.
"Because they love you," said Tamäla Kåñëa, "I am sure they will all want to
come and be with you."
"Your love for me," said Çréla Prabhupäda, "will be shown by how much you
cooperate to keep this institution together after I am gone."
The room was fully decorated with rose and jasmine garlands. The kértana
party was singing sweetly and softly.
