Srila Prabhupada Passtimes:48-Prabhupada was always magnanimous.

Only devotion is reality in spiritual life. At the end of his letter, Prabhupada mentions Jadurani. For some reason I no longer remember, she thought she had committed an offense to Prabhupada and she asked me to write to him for forgiveness. Prabhupada was magnanimous: "I do not remember when she committed offenses, and even though she might have done so, I excuse her 100 times, without any hesitation. So she has nothing to bother about it." Prabhupada was always magnanimous. whatever offense we committed in the execution of our duty, he automatically forgave. We treasure such statements.

When Lord Brahma prays to Krishna after stealing the cows and cowherd boys, he says that a mother tolerates the kicking of the baby in the womb and does not become offended. Similarly, although Prabhupada's disciples made so many mistakes out of ignorance, Prabhupada tolerated them all and simply blessed us. It's not that Prabhupada was unaware of our mistakes. In one lecture, he addresses this point. He says that because his disciples don't know how to pronounce Sanskrit, they call Prabhupada goru (cow) instead of guru. "Sometimes you say goru.' 'Goru' means cow, and guru means spiritual master. So the difference of meaning is vast. The spiritual master is not a cow. Or a bull," he laughed, " . . . it is not your language. But that doesn't matter." (Lecture, June 10, 1969, New Vrindaban)
