Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 >From the Recollection Smriti Warrior Mumbai India 1976 "I remember one Diwali, Mother Kanta was in the brahmacarini ashram and we were letting off fireworks. It was about 8:30-9:00, and I guess she wanted to take rest but we were not done playing. So she started throwing buckets of water down on us. So my brothers and I, we marched up to Prabhupada's room and Caitya-guru said, "You can't go in there, he's resting." So then I guess we made a lot of noise out there so Prabhupada said, "Let them in." So then my brothers went in and pleaded that we would like to do some fireworks, and Prabhupada said, "No, it's too noisy." So my brothers gave up, they walked out the door. I stood there, I said, "No, but it's Diwali, we've got to break some firecrackers." So then he goes, "OK, till 10:00, but then after that no more." So we got permission. We were down there breaking firecrackers, and I remember Mother Kanta had to come the next day with a maha plate and apologize for throwing water on us."
