Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 KindnessWhy did Srila Prabhupada, in old age and ill health, struggle so hard to spread Krsna consciousness? Why did he speak so strongly against everything not Krsna conscious? Why did he argue with and even shout at stubborn nonbelievers? Why did he repeatedly, incessantly, and tirelessly indoctrinate us: "You are not the body. You are an eternal servant of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead"? Because he could not tolerate the sufferings of the jivas in their forgetfulness of Krsna. Krsna's claim to be the well-wisher of all living beings (suhrdam sarva-bhutanam) has been proved by His having sent Srila Prabhupada.Always remember and never forget: if it were not for Srila Prabhupada, we wouldn't be here today. At least outside of India there would be no temples, no Deities, no sankirtana parties, no prasada, no Ratha-yatras, no ISKCON, no ecstasy, no transcendental anything. Just think what Srila Prabhupada has done for us, how he took so much trouble to save us, how he is still watching over us, and how he is so greatly concerned for us. If we think about how much Srila Prabhupada loves us, surely we will cry. Why not cry? We should cry.****Guest: I would like to ask, Swami, would you pray for me?Jayatirtha: He wants you to pray for him.Srila Prabhupada: I am praying for everyone. That is my business. Otherwise why have I come here?
