A small but significant incident at New Vrindaban on June 26 1976
illustrates Srila Prabhupada's care for devotees:
"Shortly after eight thirty he [Prabhupada] brought the meeting to an end.
As he prepared to retire to the house, he looked at one of the women,
Gopalasyapriya dasi, who was rather under dressed considering the chill of
the evening. He was concerned and he turned to Kuladri, the temple
president. "Um hmm. This girl? This cloth is sufficient? So you have no
covering? They do not require covering?"
Kuladri was casual about it, trying to explain it away to assuage Srila
Prabhupada's disquiet. "It is warm for us, Srila Prabhupada."
But Srila Prabhupada wouldn't allow it to be passed off lightly. "No, if
they require, they must be supplied. You must ask them what you need, and
provide them. Because they do not say, you'll also keep silent -- that's not
good. Every month they should be asked what they need. Necessities, they
must be supplied. We have already discussed this point. The women, they
require protection, children, women."
