Question: In Srimad Bhagavatam Prahlada Maharaj says we should bathe from the dust of the lotus feet of pure devotees, nothing to do with material activities. Is it practically possible to take the dust and bathe? What is the instruction that Prahlada Maharaj is telling us?

Guru Maharaj: Lord Caitanya when He visited different houses in South India, every house they would bathe His feet. And then offer Him a seat, offer prasadam. So they got the dust of His lotus feet. The point is that we should be in the mood of serving the devotees. And in that mood like one of the ministers in Bengal, he touched Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet. He was a home minister in charge of the police. Srila Prabhupada’s secretary wanted to stop him and beat him up. Srila Prabhupada said, no, no, it is our culture. So mentally you can take the dust of the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada or the Guru, the point is that you have to be in the service mood. Hare Krishna!
