There's two kinds of association with bhāgavat or the person bhāgavat that means a person who's a pure devote dedicated to pure devotional service. One is called vāni and the other is called vāpu. Vāpu means you get the personal association.In other words the person's physically walking around the planet and if you go there and you have some association you can see the person, maybe render some service, be in the same room and so forth so that's one of the important kinds of association.

But even more important is called 'vāni'.Vāni means listening to the words of the person and that can be done, yes through zoom. We have done this.We've had the experiment already, forced experiment albeit that that everyone had to resort to isolation but we weren't really isolated because we had the sound vibration. So we felt ourselves improving not only did we improve, I mean I didn't cuz I barely ever do but everyone else did. And there's a way in which we were able to get a lot of things done in service and this has come through the sound vibration. It it spills out in many different ways.

There's a verse in the Śrīmad Bhagavatam (SB 10.1.6) which says :

vāsudeva-kathā-praśnaḥ

puruṣāṁs trīn punāti hi

vaktāraṁ pracchakaṁ śrotṝṁs

tat-pāda-salilaṁ yathā'

Just like when you bathe in the Ganges you get purified so similarly it says

three types of people get purified when there's Kṛṣṇa kātha or somebody speaking about Kṛṣṇa. One is the person who's speaking,next is the person who's in the audience listening, and the third is everyone else in between.

Recently in the UK, we went to London and in London we had a seminar in the the Soho Street temple where Śrī Śrī Rādhā Londonīśvara are and then we all went out together, about seventy of us into the

streets of London which is a hoot. And we proceeded down to one of the very busy shopping plazas and when I say very busy..
