Some Hidden Nectar from His Grace Pragosh Prabhu
Dear devotees, Recently, Nrisimha Palli dasa, the son of His Grace Pragosh Prabhu, told me a great Sankirtana story that his father once told him: Once, Pragosh Prabhu said to Srila Prabhupada, "Srila Prabhupada, it is stated in the Bhagavatam that when a devotee leaves his body, the Visnudutas come and take him to Vaikuntha in a Vaikuntha airplane."
