Krishna’s miracle in New York

…from the very beginning I went to New York because I thought that Krishna
Consciousness is the most important idea in the world, so let me go to that
place, New York, which is the most important city in the world, and if I am
able to do anything for Krishna and my Spiritual Master, even I am at the
fag-end of my life, at least let me try for it there. So my dreams have all
come true, and all of you nice boys and girls are getting the credit. When I
was alone in your New York, I was thinking, who will listen to me in this
horrible, sinful place? All right, I shall stay little longer, at least I
can distribute a few of my books, that is something. But Krishna was all
along preparing something I could not see, and He brought you to me one by
one, sincere American boys and girls, to be trained-up for doing the work of
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Now I can see that it is a miracle. Otherwise,
your city of New York, one single old man, with only a few books to sell for
barely getting eatables, how he can survive, what to speak of introducing
God-consciousness movement for saving the humankind? That is Krishna’s
miracle.
