Badrinarayan Prabhu was in one country going door to door selling painitings to support his family.

He came to a large house, and in Spanish asked to see the owner of house.

The maid said, “No! No one can see him now; this is a time when NO ONE is allowed to see him!”

Badarinarayana, being the good talker he is, after much convincing and sweet talking, talked her into letting him in to see the owner.

She took him to his office. There, to his great surprise, he saw this man in his chair reading Srimad Bhagavatam, First Canto. Badrinarayana explained to him that he is a follower of the teachings that the man was reading about.

The man was happy to hear this and explained that the only time he could read Srimad Bhagavatam was when the other members of the family went to church. He then appologized for Badri not being allowed to immediately enter his house. He did not buy a painting, but he did buy the entire Srimad Bhagavatam, because he only had the First Canto. It turned out that this man is the Spanish ambassador to Panama.
