Pen
A devotee by name Rasada dasa – he was initiated by Srila Prabhupada
Once knocked on the door of the Paris temple and when the devotees opened the door, they saw a person – not taken bath for days together, matted hair, about 18 years old. The devotees shooed him away. One day Prabhupada came to Paris and along with the devotees went for a morning walk, and this boy called the Pig-Pen, caught hold of Prabhupada’s feet. Even before Prabhupada could respond, the devotees shooed him away and continued with the walk. When they returned from the walk they were surprised to see the temple door was open, and Pig-Pen was inside. The devotees were very upset, but when this person saw Prabhupada, he clung to his feet. So Prabhupada called the boy close to him and started patting him on his back and said, it’s ok, let him be here, let him change clothes and take a bath. When he came back no one could recognise – he was in white dhoti kurta, shaved head. He became a devotee in the temple.
One day the devotees were getting ready to go for book distribution in the sankirtan van. This Pig-Pen was sitting in the van. They said: what are you up to? He said – I also want to do book distribution; Prabhupada saved me. Anyway the devotees said, it is Prabhupada’s causeless mercy. They gave him a book bag and in one hour he came back empty handed, all the books were sold. The devotees were surprised. They asked, how did you sell? He said, “Prabhupada saved me.”
