Question: Ruination in Srila Prabhupada's Absence?

I have a question.

A lady told me:

"If your spiritual society's founder is alive, you are lucky because he can enlighten you. When the founder is present many wonderful things will happen. But when he is no longer living his successors will ruin the society. It will not be as good as it is was when the founder was alive."

I told her that our Guru Maharaja can enlighten us and she said that the guru and the founder and different because the founder has special potency. So now I am confused. Please enlighten me how I can answer her, Gurudeva.

Sincerely.

Bhakta Hari

Answer: Srila Prabhupada is Fully Present

ISKCON is not being ruined in Prabhupada's absence because he is not absent. He is fully present in his books and in the hearts of those who purely follow him. It's a fact that we were most fortunate when Srila Prabhupada was physically present. There is no doubt that many amazingly miraculous things happened in his presence. But the fact that the miracles keep happening even now thirty five years after his departure from this world prove that he is still fully present with us. His sincere followers will make sure that ISKCON, the spiritual society that he so mercifully created, will not be ruined. Krishna shakti, the special potency possessed by Srila Prabhupada for spreading the Krishna consciousness movement all over the world, has now also become manifested in all of his followers who strictly obey him.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
