When Srila Prabhupada first came to America, he didn't have anything, and somehow or another this movement took off. And Prabhupada said, 'It's a miracle!! How could this have happened? I'm coming to America with a message the Americans weren't waiting for' - no illicit sex, no gambling, no meat, no intoxication - that was not exactly what they were waiting for!!
Prabhupada said: "It's a miracle!!"
He said, " Sometimes I'm thinking, why did this miracle happen to me? Why not to others? I have so many Godbrothers who are very qualified - very learned and very, very qualified Vaishnavas. So I was thinking, why this thing happened to me?
And the only thing I can think of is that I cent percent followed the order of my Spiritual Master"
