This is an excerpt from a book based on a video documentary of disciples of Srila Prabhupada recalling some of their associations with him... The book is called "Memories"

Badrinarayan: A devotee was telling Srila Prabhupada that he was selling prasadam, Bengali sweets, at a stand in front of UC Berkeley. He was going on and on about this. Prabhupada stopped him and asked (Swami) Tripurari, "How many books did you sell?" (Swami) Tripurari told him some amazing figure. Prabhupada said, "This is the real Bengali sweet, Caitanya-caritamrta."

From Memories...

Gurudas

: Prabhupada liked how Saraswati, (Malati and Shyamasundar's four-year-old daughter), helped encourage everyone to chant during kirtan. Later on he gave her a small Deity of Krishna. Saraswati became quite attached to her Deity, and one day Prabhupada hid her Deity behind his back. Saraswati was looking, "Where is Krishna?" Prabhupada also encouraged her, "Where is Krishna?" Saraswati became anxious, "Where is Krishna? Where is He?" When Prabhupada returned the Deity to her, he pointed out how separation from Krishna can increase our awareness of Him and love for Him.
