Tonight we have with us one of Srila Prabhupada’s very close loving associates. Every word of Prabhupada’s books and lectures and everything that he ever said to any of his disciples are all intimate personal instructions to us and we should see it that way. It is Sri Chaitanya Mahapurabhu’s mercy manifesting through Srila Prabhupada. So when we are reading his books we should think that at this moment Srila Prabhupada is speaking personally to me.
That shouldn’t make us proud, it should make us very humble and very grateful because we should know that he is doing the same thing for everyone else.
This should give us the eagerness to hear from him, to want to somehow or other escape from whatever we are doing, whenever we can, to hear Srila Prabhupada speak to us. To get a deep intimate glimpse of how we can actually experience Srila Prabhupada’s presence in his tapes, in his books, in the service we render to his devotees and his mission. Srila Prabhupada had beautiful pastimes with many of his very, very close associates and when they share their memories they open the door to all of us.

Radhanath Swami Maharaj is absolutely correct when he says that we can personally associate with Srila Prabhupada through his books and audio tapes/lectures. This is our greatest fortune.

Radhanath Swami Maharaj ki Jai!!!
Serene………we should also show our eagerness to hear from our Guru Maharaj just as Radhanath Swami does.
Jai
Thank you very much for sharing.
Srila Prabhupada had created a revolution in the whole world by his sincere desires to engage everyone for the service of Shri Shri Radha and Krishna. We can see how his disciples are trying to give the topmost of all the knowledge by their own examples.
We should be ever grateful to Srila Prabhupada for the wonderful gifts of wisdom given by him to all of humanity…….
