Seeing Srila Prabhupada's Sacrifice and Compassion in Lord Chaitanya’s Perspective

Radhanath Swami

At such times Lord Chaitanya would glorify his devotees. Sometimes it says he would be so enthusiastic to glorify those who were lovingly serving him that it appeared he had five mouths, sometimes many months. In the case of Vasudev Datta, who was willing to suffer perpetually, so that you and me and everyone else could receive the happiness of Krishna consciousness. It says Mahaprabhu spoke with tears flowing from his eyes, with his limbs trembling, as if he had thousands of mouths, he was appreciating his devotee. To see from Lord Chaitanya's perspective is to get a glimpse into how dear and how important Srila Prabhupada and his sacrifice of compassion is to the lord, how precious, how rare and sacred it is to each and every one of our lives.
