So my mother would be angry that “What is this nonsense? You are teaching mridanga? What he will do with this mridanga?” (chuckles) But perhaps my father wanted that I should be a great mridanga player in the future. (laughter) Therefore I am very much indebted to my father, and I have dedicated my book, Krishna book, to him. He wanted this. He wanted me to be preacher of Bhagavata, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and player of mridanga and to become servant of Radharani.
