The acaryas never go back to Godhead............

[Guest guest]

H.G Hamsaduta Prabhu:

 

"I asked Prabhupada once, "Is it possible that a devotee, instead of having

a relationship where he goes back to Godhead and has an eternal relationship

with Krsna, as we read in the books, is it possible that a devotee might

have a relationship where he doesn't go back to Godhead, but just preaches?

His relationship with Krsna is preaching?"

 

Just before I could finish, Prabhupada said, "Yes."

 

He said, "The acaryas never go back to Godhead. They remain in the material

world. They travel from one planet to another and they preach Krsna

consciousness."

 

 

I asked, "Well, does it mean that because the acarya is a pure devotee,

although he is in the material world preaching, he is simultaneously in the

spiritual world, and so it doesn't make any difference?"

 

Prabhupada said, "Yes, something like that.
