Srila Prabhupada has been my spiritual master life after life--this life I have accepted him for the past 35 years, and I always had a great desire to talk to him, and unlike many who did, I have had something to say--but this desire never was fulfilled--he was surrounded by his liutenants and others whose business it was to keep people away from him--I never thought I would speak with him, especially after he left his body in 1977. But strangely, I did.
How is a very esoteric subject, and I do not know how he worked it, but I have definitely spoken to the one and only Srila Prabhupada. I had atracted his attention by blogging about Vaishnava matters constantly and in my own way instead of the standard Hare Krishna way; that, any my desire to write transcendental literature had interested him enouogh that, after investigating my history, creative and otherwise, he paid me a visit.
My good friend and mentor, the late Ajitananda das (who has now gone up to Golok) wrote a small book about "Srila Prabhupada's Wonderful Transcendental Qualities"--I now find this list to be incomplete. Further qualities are: very high intelligence, brilliance, a really good friend, great warmth, lack of pretention, always well-wishing, posesses many energies, all-knowing.
Srila Prabhupada is not an ordinary man--I thought he would be very critical of my failures to keep the regulative principles, but he was not. He didnt even mention it, and simply behaved as a very good friend would, encouraging me to continue writing about Krishna. I believe he agrees with Sant Keshavdasji "Krishna really doesnt care about all this celibacy and austerity--He just wants love and affection"
