Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Dear Maharajas and Prabhus Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I was horrified to hear that our beloved Srila Bhaktipada Bhakti Tirtha Maharaja may be losing a foot due to cancer. According to sastra anyone who sees the spiritual master as an ordinary person is going to hell. The body of the spiritual master is seen as entirely spiritual. We have seen that even other ISKCON gurus have claimed our Srila Bhaktipada is a demon, and with this news I have a great fear that many great offences will be made if we allow Srila Bhaktipada's foot to be buried separately from the rest of his divine form. They will say 'just see, he already is having one foot in the grave' or some such offensive nonsense. We must make sure his divine lotus foot is preserved, maybe frozen or kept in a salt bowl, so that it can be laid in his samadhi once he has departed this world for Nitya Lila. We should also try to set up a proper foot appeal. This must be taken very seriously by all Srila Bhaktipada's disciples and well-wishers. Let us save his lotus foot. Please post this message widely. Thank you.
