Dear Mani,

 

If you look up Bhaktivedanta Book Trust on , you'll be able to find the

Prabhupada Lilamrita through them.

Father.

> Was this applicable to Srila P.?

 

I doubt it. Usually, true indications like that are found in various

classics in a mutually supportive way. This indication is not found. It

sounds like granny wisdom, to tell the truth.

I never heard this. Maybe someone can say. I imagine that, if theis were so,

I would have heard. In fact, I read the Lilamrita and don't recall reading

this.

Before he took sanyas he was married and had several children. One of them

is active distributing his father's books in India.

You should be able to get it under " books." http://www.harekrishna.com/

 

Regards to you, too.
