IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR ALL PROBLEMS? READ ON.... One day, looking for solace, direction, and inspiration, we all--separately but at the same exact moment--reached the door to Srila Prabhupadas room. When we entered, we were astounded by what we saw: The sun was shining through the window, bathing Srila Prabhupada with golden-white rays. His eyes were firmly closed but without strain or tightness. He sat upright behind his desk, on his cushion, his right hand in his bead bag. You could see how attentively he was fingering the beads, and you could hear their clacking as he rubbed them between his fingers. You could even see the bags cloth rustling around them. His face was serene, but there was every indication that he was fixed in hearing the holy name. As he chanted - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare - his tongue rolled in his mouth and his lips moved in a circle. He seemed to be tasting something delicious,chewing it with care to savor every bit. His chanting was quite distinct; the words were clear and articulate, and he pressed down on each syllable. His head swung slightly side to side with a bit of an up-and-down movement. Simultaneously, all three of us thrust our hands into our bead bags and joined His Divine Grace in japa. At least for the moment, we were united and transcendent to our differences. Together, as brothers, we watched him with wide-open eyes, delighting in this rare vision.After some time, Srila Prabhupada opened his eyes for a moment and without moving his head looked gently but seriously at us, one after the other, and pronounced, Just go on chanting and all your problems will be solved....Tejiyas dasa (ACBSP)...Hare Krishna
