"Sometimes in the year 1931 or '32 I had a very severe tooth pain.
So I was taken by my servant in the jungle to some, this vaidya.
They cured me, and the dentist could not. "

Prabhupada: So
everything in nature has to give something. That is the order.
Everything that we see, nadyah, the river... Why God has created the
river? It has got a function. Similarly samudrah, the oceans,
similarly the hills, mountains, girayah, savanaspati, vegetables. All
these vegetables which are growing, each and every vegetable, creeper,
has some service, we do not know. Because we do not know the use of
these vegetables, creepers, we go to the doctor, physician. Otherwise,
if somebody is ill, the medicine is there. We do not know how to
utilize it. Still in remote villages, in forest, they do not come to
the physician, doctors. The bils, the aborigines, they know so many
drugs. For toothache, we go to the dentist and they extract the teeth,
but I have read in Ayurvedic medicine, there is a drug, a root. Only
if you touch this side of the mouth, all the germs collected within
the teeth will come out. I have seen it. Sometimes in the year
1931 or '32 I had a very severe tooth pain. So I was taken by my
servant in the jungle to some, this vaidya. They cured me, and the
dentist could not. I attended so many times to the dentist. I
have got my practical experience. And in the Ayurvedic literature
there is mention some drug, the root only if you touch here, the germs
collected in the teeth, they will come out in the corner of the teeth
some germs--sometimes it is itching; there is all germs--so they will
come out. Sometimes pains in the toe. All they are germs. The germ
theory is all right, but they want to cure these germs in different
way. But by nature's way there are so many drugs and roots and
creepers that can cure all the diseases.

Dear Prabhu's please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please forgive my offenses. I humbly request you to send any quotes from Srila Prabhupada which describe his transcendental qualities and pastimes. In this way together we may be able to compile a book for his glorification and our meditation on his exalted personality. Thankyou. Your servant Mukunda dasa.
