Stories told by Śrīla Prabhupāda
<< 10 The Himalayas give birth >>
 | |
| Then we have the story of “The Himalayas give birth”. Yes, this is a short story. Another story that Srila Prabhupadaa often told: When words spread that the world famous huge Himalayan mountain range was going to produce offspring, hundreds of people gathered at the foothills of the mountains. In anticipation great crowds waited and finally they saw in the side of the mountain a hole opened up and they were all waiting: now it’s coming, there will be something wonderful and out from the hole run whole herd of rats, they came running out. And everyone ran away very disappointed.
| | Prabhupada told this story to illustrate that it is expected from then great universities of the world, you go to these universities, you see big buildings looking like mountains, that something wonderful will come out, but actually all that comes out are hippies and punks and rats, dogs and cats. So Prabhupada said: “Unless these young people become Krishna conscious, they will be like these rat offspring of the Himalaya mountains.”
