Srila Prabhupada’s humility is evident in an exchange that took place on Novemer 26th, 1975 in New Delhi: Harikesa: It seems like the strongest preaching point or platform is the presence of a pure soul. Prabhupada: Huh? Harikesa: The presence of a pure soul, someone who is wrapped up actually in love of God, is sufficient. Prabhupada: Faithful servant of God. He can preach. He is authorized. He has got the power of attorney. Krsna sakti vin nahe nama pracara. [“Unless empowered by Krsna, one cannot propagate the sankirtana movement” – CC, Antya, 7.11].
