“I have received very nice reports from all our centers how they are very much appreciating my books and they are understanding association with the Spiritual Master is the same as association with His vani or teachings. This is a transcendental fact.”

“We are not separated actually. There are two—vani or vapu. So vapu is physical presence and vani is presence by the vibration, but they are all the same. So Krsna when He was physically present before Arjuna is the same when He is present before us by His vani of Bhagavad-gita. So far I am concerned, I do not factually feel any separation from my Spiritual Master because I am trying to serve Him according to His desire. That should be the motto. If you kindly try to fulfill my mission for which you have been sent there, that will be our constant association.”

Prabhupada: The whole devotional process is purificatory process. The more he is purified, he becomes high-class devotee. But the process is the path of liberation. Just like mango. The green mango, this green mango will be ripe mango. The same mango. You cannot say that the ripe mango is different from the green mango. It is a process. By the process the same green mango becomes yellow; then it is perfect.
Perfect, Prabhupada says perfect. That’s why i got problems in fiskcon and left it, because of all those pseudos pretending they are perfect are not perfect! It is just a big illusion.
You are not free until all of you give back Iskcon and whatever belongs to SRILA PRABHUPADA.
That is Prabhupada’s position in ISKCON – it is not a temporal one. His relationship to the movement as founder-acarya is dynamic and ongoing. He is the founder-acarya, not were the founder-acarya, and he will continue to be the founder-acarya.
That means that his teachings form the basis of our Krishna consciousness movement and the basis of daily lives in Krishna consciousness. Therefore no one else can claim to be founder-acarya of ISKCON or any part of ISKCON.
Only when the daivi varnasrama dharma will settle properly in our society with SRILA PRABHUPADA in the center we can become fully realized and established in Krishna consciousness – never lose sight of Krishna, and our bliss is always increasing.
