Question: What instruction would you give to the next generation? Do you see that it's important for us to develop a personal relationship with Śrīla Prabhupāda? Do you see any instruction that you would like to give us, any suggestion, any guidance that you would like to share with us?"

Nirakula Dasi: Well, not so much an instruction. I'm grateful for what you just said. And if the devotees are feeling this connection, it's all Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mercy. It's just, if I can share some of that, it's just his mercy. But for the generations to come, it is important to develop a personal relationship with Śrīla Prabhupāda. And it's possible, and many of you have. What I would suggest is, of course, reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. His spiritual ecstasies are in those purports, and they just get deeper and deeper. The more we read them, the more we hear them, the more we share with each other, like-minded devotees, and share those realizations together. So that's definitely something. But listening to his lectures, I listen to Śrīla Prabhupāda every day, and I kind of crave his voice. And, you know, because I've seen him in person, and because I've watched a lot of videos, I can imagine the facial expressions and the movements of his hands. And not just his classes, but, you know, his morning walks and his room conversations, you know, things like that. They, they give a different aspect of of Śrīla Prabhupāda. I think those are a couple of things that are important. But I think the most important thing is, or very important, is do something to make you feel part of the mission. When you feel a part of the mission, you have goals, you're excited, you're challenged, you know. And you all have talents, amazing talents and intelligence. Use those abilities, and nowadays it seems to me...
