Prayer in Practice

Prabhupada meditation transcends time and place, although it can happen in any time and place.  He can be with you even in a hot cubbyhole in a cheap hotel.  When he does come to you, your place becomes transcendental. 

Rupa Gosvami has stated that everything can be used in the service of Krishna.  Even the botheration of travel can evoke a fond meditation.  Whatever our ongoing situation, we can always dovetail it with Prabhupada meditation of one sort or another.

Give respects to the memories of Swamiji.  Just hold them in your mind, worship his lotus feet.  You do not have to be a radio broadcaster telling everyone about it.  It is a moment of remembrance for you.  For your own benefit.  Appreciate that you were there; worship the minutes and hours.  “Prabhupada, I loved you.  I do love you.  I appreciate the Krishna consciousness that you have brought.  I want to be carried out of this material world; please save me.  Please let me remember that I am your menial sisya who learns from you, practices Vaisnavism under your direction.
