On October 16, 1972, in Vrindavana Srila Prabhupada said this: “preaching work is not easy-going. There are many difficulties. All the big, big preachers Sri Ramanujacarya. His life was attempted to be killed. Why Ramanujacarya? My guru Maharaja was attempted to be killed. Twenty-five thousand rupees were raised fund for bribing the police officer. He told me personally. The Navadvipa, Navadvip Gosais, they wanted to kill him. So preaching work is always risky.”
