Bhakti-caru Swami came in early ’77 and Prabhupada immediately gave him first and second initiatino and said, “He is not a new man in this movement.” Then a couple weeks later, Prabhupada was walking on the roof of the Lotus Building with Bhakti-caru Swami when Prabhupada said to him, “You have had billions of births. All of us have had billions of births, and we have always given those lives simply to sense gratification. If you give one birth to Krishna you will not be the loser. Just give one to Krishna. And if you’re not satisfied, you still get more births.” Prabhupada spoke matter-of-factly, just like saying the sun rises every day. He was considering transmigration, “Don’t worry, you can get billiions of more births. But give one to Krishna and see what happens.” A week later Bhakti-caru Swami took sannyasa, and he’s maintained his sannyasa vows ever since. He’s given this one birth to Krishna. At any point in time we can also give our life to Krishna and that’s what I’m hoping to do.
