The topic of my warm-up class tonight was “Your Prabhupada.” I wanted to convey that each one of us has a unique relationship with Prabhupada. I offered many examples of different ways to approach Prabhupada, but something was missing. It then occurred to me that my own presentation of Prabhupada is not so alive because of my personal lackings. I have to pray to Prabhupada before I give such classes. This is also connected to my lackings in chanting. So many things in my sadhana need overhauling, not only japa. One of the most important things of all is to have an enthusiastic, non-deadened relationship with Srila Prabhupada.
