Srila Prabhupada Quote of the Day

Montreal, Quebec
Letter to Tamala Krishna




"About my coming to San Francisco, I have already written to Jayananda. I am always hankering after going there, but because there are some other program, immediately, so please ask all the devotees on my behalf to wait and in the meantime, enjoy chanting Hare Krishna. The chanting Hare Krishna is our main business, that is real initiation. And as you are all following my instruction, in that matter, the initiator is already there.

Now the next initiation will be performed as a ceremony officially, of course that ceremony has value because the name, Holy Name, will be delivered to the student from the disciplic succession, it has got value, but in spite of that, as you are going on chanting, please go on with this business sincerely and Krishna willing, I may be coming to you very soon. I have already written to Jayananda about this, so don't be impatient. Pray to Krishna that I may meet you very soon. "






P.S.- Here is another good one for the Vapu-Vadis. Just see how merciful Srila Prabhupada is. JAYA SRILA PRABHUPADA. The Acharya may adjust things according to time, place and circumstances as Srila Prabhupada said in a Letter to Madusudhana dasa(11/20/68): " These things are conducted in terms of place, audience, time, etc. In the Caitanya Caritamrta it is said that the activities of the Vaisnava cannot be understood even by the greatest scholar. So we have to understand everything through the transparent via media of the Spiritual Master. So there is no doubt about it that Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura is eternal energy of Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And whatever he did, was just to suit the time, place, circumstances, and etc. There is no contradiction in his activities." The same can be said for His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada!!
