I was on a morning walk with Srila Prabhupada in Vrindaban, India -- August, 1974. It was hot and the flies were driving me and everybody else crazy. I asked Srila Prabhupada if there were flies in the spiritual world (in a way as if to say if there are then I don't want to go). He answered, "Yes, but they are not bothersome like these flies... and when they buzz they are buzzing Hare Krishna."
