You can call it a Blast from the Past. :-) I think rather then "blast off" (not Prabhupadas expression anyhow) we better study how DIFFERENTLY did Srila Prabhupada spoke to different people, without taking up "time travel" issue: Does anyone have translations of Srila Prabhupadas classes that he gave in Hindi, with original Hindi in transliteration? The truth is that many devotees are still frozen or stuck in the 60s/70s and can only relate to "flower generation" ideas and people of thier own country, even in terms of their language.
