Anyway, on this morning Prabhupada sat on His vyasasana (generally, I would immediately start leading the kirtan, because when Prabhupada sits on the vyasasana somebody should immediately start chanting), and the garland was sitting in the basket. One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes passed and the garland was still sitting in the basket while I was chanting. If Prabhupada sat on the vyasasana, would the devotees wait to put on His garland? When I was with Prabhupada, every time He sat on the vyasasana, immediately there were devotees standing around who were waiting to put their garland on Prabhupada as soon as he sat down.
Being with Srila Prabhupada, 2011-01-30
