Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? You said before that you..., that it is said that you were poisoned?
Prabhupāda: No. These kind of symptoms are seen when a man is poisoned. He said like that, not that I am poisoned.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Did anyone tell you that, or you just know it from before?
Prabhupāda: I read something.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Ah, I see. That's why actually we cannot allow anyone else to cook for you.
Prabhupāda: That is good.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Jayapatāka Mahārāja was telling that one ācārya, Śaṅkarācārya, of the Śaṅkarācārya line—this was a while ago—he was poisoned to death. Since that time, none of the ācāryas or the gurus of the Śaṅkarācārya line will ever take any food cooked except by their own men.
Prabhupāda: My Guru Mahārāja also.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. You, of course, have been so merciful that sometimes you would take prasāda cooked by so many different people.
Prabhupāda: That should be stopped. (pause)
