Remember Prabhupada

Our business is to save ourselves by remembering Srila Prabhupada at the time of death.  All his activities are worth remembering and passing on to others, at least for the next ten thousand years of Kali-yuga.  It is distasteful to us if someone says, “Prabhupada is just one guru, and eventually he will be forgotten.  There will be other gurus with other pastimes and the main thing is the message, not this person.”  We don’t want to hear that.  If we persist in being attached to Prabhupada, it can’t be inauspicious.  Even if aspects of his pastimes were temporary scenes, nevertheless, being attached to Prabhupada in a particular setting will not go in vain.  Krishna will recognize it, and He will transform our devotion into eternal benefit.  Krishna will say, “Because you were attached to Prabhupada there, now you can be attached to Radha and Krishna and Prabhupada.”  Somehow, Krishna can make it all satisfactory.  It’s not wrong to remember our teacher, how he taught us, when he taught us, and who he was.
