Morning Walk Conversation
with His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
April 9, 1975, Mayapur

Prabhupada: …think that I am going to die very soon. You know that Romaharsana?

Satsvarupa: Romaharsana?

Prabhupada: Eh? Romaharsana?

Satsvarupa: Who Balarama killed?

Prabhupada: No, another. Lomarsa, Lomarsa Muni. He would die when all the hairs on the body will fall down. And each hair will fall down after the death of one Brahma. So he was chanting on the sea, and Narada Muni was passing: “Why don’t you make a cottage?” “How long I shall live? What is the use of cottage?” He’s also thinking: “I’ll die.”

Satsvarupa: There’s also the story of that Maharaja Khatvanga, who found out that he only had a minute to live. What did he do, that he…? You say that he surrendered at once.

Prabhupada: He surrendered to Krsna. That’s all. Hmmm. Go this…

Devotee: Prabhupada, if we, if we increase our devotional activities, then we automatically become satisfied, and then detached from material life.

Prabhupada: Yes. Yes. (end)
