Vyasa puja meditation: Srila Prabhupada’s lifelong purity

I cannot say what I was in my previous life, but one great astrologer
calculated that I was previously a physician and my life was sinless.
Besides that, to corroborate the statement of Bhagavad-gita “sucinam
srimatam gehe yogabhrasta samyayate” [Bg. 6.41] which means an unfinished
yogi takes birth in rich family or born of a suci or pious father. By the
grace of Krsna I got these two opportunities in the present life to be born
of a pious father and brought up in one of the richest, aristocratic
families of Calcutta (Kasinath Mullick). The Radha Krsna Deity in this
family called me to meet Him, and therefore last time when I was in
Calcutta, I stayed in that temple along with my American disciples. Although
I had immense opportunities to indulge in the four principles of sinful life
because I was connected with a very aristocratic family, Krsna always saved
me, and throughout my whole life I do not know what is illicit sex,
intoxication, meat-eating or gambling. So far my present life is concerned,
I do not remember any part of my life when I was forgetful of Krsna.
