Michael Jackson and Satya devi dasi

Jul 10, MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA (HOUR.CA) — Satya devi dasi of Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mandir, Brooklyn, New York, catered prasadam for Michael Jackson at a private dinner for two with a man we know in New York City.

He was offered Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita and said he already had the Bhagavad-gita and when the Host asked if it was Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita, Michael Jackson said yes, it was. He was then presented with a Krishna Art book, of the first Krishna Art print-run, and he looked through the illustrations and said he liked the paintings. He took that Krishna Art book home.

He was one of the few fortunate persons in this world to honor Sri Sri Radha Govindadeva's Maha-prasdam. He enjoyed Radha Govinda's world famous Maha pradasam Burfi and other Mangal arati sweets. He got Satya's gourmet prasadam cooking for dinner on two consecutive evenings. At the dinner table, he discussed reincarnation and karma with the host.

Satya said he was very nice, soft spoken, and friendly. At that time, he was staying in a luxury Suite at the Waldorf Astoria with his daughter Paris and first son, Prince Michael. His second son, Blanket, was not born yet. At that time, Michael Jackson was in New York to receive a Bollywood Lifetime Achievement Award.

Your servant,
