Srila Prabhupada passtimes-35-Radha-Madhava, They are dancing.

Jananivasa das : The best time of the day was actually when Prabhupada came for the morning program. He would go out for a morning walk, and Prabhupada would always come back exactly the same time for darshan. It's quite difficult. Oftentimes he went down to the Ganga, he went over to the Jalangi side across all the rough grounds and everything where there's no proper roads. But somehow or another, he would always come back exactly at the same time. The temple would be completely clean. No one would be allowed in the temple before Prabhupada came. No one could step foot on the marble after it had been cleaned. They would have flowers outside the gate showering when Prabhupada came.


Then Srila Prabhupada would come in and he would walk towards Radha-Madhava, and he would come and take darshan and look at Radha-Madhava. Sometimes he would say different things. One time he said that "Radha-Madhava, They are dancing." Another time he said, "You see how Radharani, She is holding her right hand out with Her thumb and the forefinger touched, She is offering a tambula pan." Sometimes you see Radharani, she has got Her palm held out forward giving benediction, blessing. He said, "When Radharani is holding this, offering this pan to Krishna, Krishna can never leave Her."
