Jayapataka Swami: Srila Prabhupada said that some of his disciples were previously devotees in India! I don’t know, if you can say that every successful materially was a pious Hindu in their previous life. Somehow they have done good karma, and as a result, they are enjoying the material success in this life. But if one takes to Krsna consciousness, that is very special. Srila Prabhupada was saying that some of his disciples were previously devotees and obviously that is in India, because there were no Krsna bhaktas before in foreign countries. Srila Prabhupada was the first to bring Krsna consciousness to the world.
