"So when Prabhupada said he was leaving, it was a shock. And then, not only did he say he was leaving but he said because he was old … he said there’s a good chance he wouldn’t return, but we should carry on the movement anyway. So devotees took that very hard. At the airport everyone was crying. We ran out to the fence to watch the plane and new devotees, old devotees, everybody was crying."
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
