Beautiful Qualities

My good friend, Ajitananda das, wrote a small booklet called The 26 Beautiful Qualities of Srila Prabhupada. Since then, I have observed five more--Prabhupada is no average pure devotee! I want to add them to the list in the same style--the qualities are: brilliant, highly intelligent, possesses many energies, all knowing, and a good friend.

Srila Prabhupada's brilliance is shown in the way in which he could immediately grasp a topic, however abstruse, and give an incisive and concise answer to any question. He could dazzle the questioner with his quick grasp of all the pertinent data and his amazing ability to reduce a complex subject to a few simple words.

Once while accepting questions at a lecture in San Francisco, one person asked, 'What abut the Kundalini?"prabhupada replied, "When you come to Krishna consciousness, kundalini is all done."
