It was in the middle of the night when His Divine Grace arrived, and we were all lined up to meet him. But the most amazing thing was that when he arrived, he was golden. He was just golden. And you could hear the devotees as Prabhupada was walking by, you could hear one devotee after another, they were gasping in surprise, “He’s golden!” “He’s golden!” “He’s golden!” And he really was. Prabhupada just appeared on this specific occasion…it was different than other times. Prabhupada is always transcendental and effulgent, but this particular time he was looking like a walking Deity or something. He was just looking very golden.
