Había estado viajando con Ghanasyama Prabhu (ahora Bhakti Tirtha Swami) en Alemania del Este (DDR) y Austria, ayudándolo en su trabajo con el “Grupo de la Biblioteca” a distribuir juegos de libros a bibliotecas y universidades actuando como traductor al alemán. Acabábamos de completar cuatro semanas de viaje y regresamos a Schloss Rettershof, exhaustos por un largo viaje en coche desde Austria. ¡Tan pronto como llegamos, los devotos nos dijeron que Srila Prabhupada estaba en Londres! fue una sorpresa, ya que habíamos oído hablar de su mala salud, y que él se quedaba en Vrindavan, invitando a los discípulos mayores a que fueran allí y estuvieran con él. Al enterarme de la presencia de Srila Prabhupada en Londres, sin la menor vacilación, Ghanasyama Prabhu y yo inmediatamente volvimos al automóvil, olvidando nuestro cansancio, y nos dirigimos a Londres.

LONDON, SEPTEMBER 1977
I had been traveling with Ghanasyama Prabhu (now Bhakti Tirtha Swami) in East Germany (DDR) and Austria, assisting him in his work with the “Library Party” of distributing sets of books to libraries and colleges by acting as a translator into German. We had just completed four weeks of travel and returned to Schloss Rettershof, exhausted from a long drive from Austria. As soon as we arrived, devotees told us that Srila Prabhupada is in London! Such a surprise, since we had been hearing of his failing health, and that he was remaining in Vrindavan, inviting senior disciples to come there and be with him. Hearing of Srila Prabhupada’s presence in London, without the slightest hesitation Ghanasyama Prabhu and I immediately jumped back in the car, forgetting our tiredness, and drove to London.
