Jayapatākā Swami: You see I am just thinking that I am so much indebted to Śrīla Prabhupāda. He endured so many obstacles to spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. He went from India by ship, had heart attacks, so many problems! He went to New York, he was beaten up. All kinds of austerities he did, to carry out the order of his guru. Relatively, I have been protected by Kṛṣṇa, by the mercy of my Gurudeva, and of course, I had different problems. In 1989 I was attached by a crazy man in the airport, he cut my jugular vein.  I was almost going to die, but somehow I survived. So like that there were various problems throughout my life somehow I survived and just trying to repay the unlimited debt I have to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
