Question: You have told us that Prabhupada said that one of the three things we can pray for unconditionally is friendship with devotees. What is the value of that friendship if those people hurt and disappoint us? Then also when the time of death comes, guru and Krsna are our only shelter, we cannot have any other attachments even to friends isn’t it?

Jayapataka Swami: I don’t know that I said that these are the only three things you can pray for, and one of them is having devotee friends. We should be friendly and respectful to devotees. We shouldn’t commit offences to devotees because those offences are like mad...
