On November 24th 1967, Srila Prabhupada returned to America and a new spirit - Srila Prabhupada called it a "Divine Spirit" - the impetus to spread Krishna consciousness, appeared within ISKCON.
When Srila Prabhupada had first arrived in America he had been alone and had experienced difficulty finding even one sincere person. Now, to the contrary, he was surrounded by sincere followers eager to learn from him and enthusiastic to serve him.
He did not want followers for his personal benefit but, in order to fulfil the desire of his predecessor spiritual masters that Krishna consciousness spread throughout the world, he was willing to accept the service of many disciples.
His tough daily routine
Srila Prabhupada preached at every opportunity while supervising his ISKCON movement and at night, instead of collapsing for eight hours of hard-earned rest, he would lie down for a few hours and then rise and execute his most important duty, translating and commenting on the sanskrit verses of the world's oldest scriptures, the Vedas.
