Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 > Prabhu, is this quote available from the VedaBase? I dont know, I can check later, I transcribed it directly from the video. I was so inspired to see the great trouble Srila Prabhupada went to to compose this message, HH Jayadvaita Swami is holding the microphone and you can see that each and every word is chosen with greate deliberation. Of course Srila Prabhupada always did this, but to choose this particular message, and the fact that it is the last recorded video footage of a Bhaktivendanta purport in the making has tremendous significance for ISKCON as far as this misguided fool can see. I just lament that so few in our society choose to take it seriously.
