Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Your sentiments were well expressed. As you wrote, Srila Prabhupada has taught us EVERYTHING, and before him we knew NOTHING. So our lamentation if he departs from this world is very real. You have well expressed all our feelings -- that we will be lost without him. But because he is our true savior, as you mentioned, therefore he has saved us by such instructions that we can go on even in his absence. That you know as well as I. There is mention in the Krishna book that the great souls cross over the ocean of nescience but leave behind a boat for others to use in crossing. That boat is the Hare Krishna mantra and the mission of ISKCON. Actually it is not a mere boat but a super ark, capable of holding all the living entities in the universe. Either in his physical presence, or eventually without it, let us push on this movement of becoming devotees and making devotees.
