After less than 24 hours in Penang, it was time to return to Kuala Lumpur. Shashikant drove to the airport, with Śrīla Prabhupāda in the front, and Bali, Amogha and Vegavan in the back.

Amogha: Along the way, Śrīla Prabhupāda said that he had introduced a new song in India, and it went like this.

He began to sing Jaya Rādhā Mādhava Kuñjabihārī. As he sang he would turn his head back towards us, so we could hear his singing. His eyes were deep with love and decorated with tears as he sang this song.

I remember that before he began singing I was feeling very bad, as I sat in the back seat, because I felt that I had been very unworthy of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

I had so much difficulty keeping regulated and not eating too much. I didn’t type very well. Like that I was feeling that I am not very good.

In this mood I put my hands up and silently said prayers and obeisances to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Just after that Śrīla Prabhupāda, turned and said, «Just by offering obeisances all good activity is performed».
