Believe me its valid. Abhirama Prabhu described his conversations with Srila

Prabhupada to me as extremely confidential and intimate. Abhirama was having

to carry Srila Prabhupada in his arms in order to bath him or take him to

the toilet room, etc. Private conversations such as these had no tape

recorder running all the time.

 

Prabhupada spoke such instructions to an intimate disciple and he knew that

Abhirama Prabhu would share these invaluable instructions and conversations

with his godbrothers and godsisters in order that they could carry them out

for the pleasure of their guru maharaja - someday.

 

Any endeavor in this regard - fulfilling the other half of Srila

Prabhupada's mission - will not go unheralded as glorious and auspicious.

Let's give it a try!
