From Srila Prabhupada:

It is not that he is dead and gone. That is not spiritual understanding. Even ordinary living being, he does not die. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. And what to speak of such exalted, authorized personality like Bhaktisiddhanta. He is seeing. I never feel that I am alone. Of course, when I came to your country without any friend, without any means... Practically, just like a vagabond I came. But I had full faith that "My Guru Maharaja is with me." I never lost this faith, and that is fact. There are two words, vani and vapuh. Vani means words, and vapuh means this physical body. So vani is more important than the vapuh. Vapuh will be finished. This is material body. It will be finished. That is the nature. But if we keep to the vani, to the words of spiritual master, then we remain very fixed up. It doesn't matter -- "Bhaktisiddhanta Appearance Day," March 2nd, 1974, Atlanta

Appreciating Kalachandji's Community

About 12 devotees went to the Talented and Gifted Magnet school south of Downtown Dallas on this past Saturday for their International Day.  They presented a kirtan program and served out prasadam.  About 20 students sang and danced in the program.  Following is a letter from the organizer of the event:

 

Thanks so much for coming to the event yesterday. It was wonderful meeting your group and yourself! You are all such lovely people. The food was delicious.  -- Alexis Larmeu
