BV Puri Maharaja: Srila Prabhupada’s “final Orders”

BV Puri Maharaja: “Once I said to him [Srila Prabhupada], ‘Maharaja, you should survive for ten more years.’ He answered, ‘How can I survive? You see my pulse.’ I saw that his pulse was not moving. I said, ‘Unless you stay, these Western disciples will not unite. They are strong-headed and they will fight. You must put them in line with our tradition. Previously I said, ‘Maharaja, you have established some gurus but Guru must be one.’ He said, ‘I have not selected [any gurus]. Only rtviks to act in my place now.’
