We also understand how siksa relations are not bound by time and place. Further, even in ordinary affairs, one can enter into a relation with someone via the written word. Let's not minimize the potency of scripture, the writings of the acaryas (with extensive and detailed purports), or the potency of the siksa disciplic relationship. As far as specific missions, it appears the Prabhupada was empowered with many of them. With our less than fully mature realizations, it may not always be easy to appreciate the intimacy of Prabhupada's relationship with Srila Bhaktisiddhanta and Lord Caitanya. Let us not miss the opportunity to take advantage of his mercy. ys, sthita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
