Read more I just watched the entire "Following Srila Prabhupada" series for the first time and want to thank Yadubara Prabhu and his team for performing this great service for Srila Prabhupada and his devotees. They have allowed my wife, Lilamanjari dasi, and myself to be with our Spiritual Master anytime we want. Being non-different, now we can sit with him in his room, watch and listen to him translate his books, go with him on walks to the beach, in parks . . . everywhere. I know that Srila Prabhupada said he is in his books, but unfortunately I am not advanced enough to appreciate this blessing. But has a child of television, to be able to see and hear him again after all these years brought tears of joy to our eyes during each and every DVD. I will cherish this series and continue to watch it daily. Thank you Yadhubara dasa, Vishaka dasi, and all the devotees for your wonderful service and for allowing us to have such intimate association with His Divine Grace. I am sure, in my humble way, that you will be blessed for having done this service. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
