"Just had a nice long chat with one senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada. The story he told me is very interesting indeed.
During one class Srila Prabhupad noticed that one of his disciples was wearing yarmulke ( small skullcap worn by orthodox Jewish men in public or by other Jewish men during prayer).
Srila Prabhupada asked him : "Why are you wearing this? " to which the Jew in question responded "I have become a Jew again".
Srila Prabhupada then , I was told , immediately changed the topic of his lecture and started preaching strongly that we are not this body.
When the lecture ended, Srila Prabhupada said that most of his Jewish disciples will not make it back to Godhead in this lifetime.
Devotee who told me this story says that he queried three witnesses on this and they all confirmed that they have heard the same thing spoken by Srila Prabhupada.
Considering what happened to Srila Prabhupada , his movement , his disciples , his books and his Vaikuntha children at the hands of those so-called disciples , I have no reason to suspect the veracity of this story."
