Question from Ganesh Guru In spiritual world it is called eternally present can we see Krishna Prabhupada answer the principle and the practices of Krishna consciousness that is called shares based on the Vedic literature are present eternally in the spiritual world however is called as a name as an institution is something which was created historically at a particular point in history and it is present in the material world for as long as the devotees preach and basically Vishnu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu will be present here in the world for 10,000 years and it was earlier present the same Vishnu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was present earlier in different ways through Gaudiya Math or through Vishnu Vishnu Rajya Sabha which was started by Bhaktivinoda Thakur or before that also Rupa Goswami had association of devotees so we shouldn’t reduce Vishnu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu down to its institutional existence Vishnu Chaitanya Mahaprabhu we have to have a vision of it spiritually as as a forum that facilitates the practice of the principles of Krishna consciousness and those principles are eternally practiced in the spiritual world so in that essential sense of what this form stands for that is eternally present in the spiritual world not the institutional name and structure now can we seek the true path in the spiritual world yes definitely Krishna wills Prabhupada has his own Swarupa in the spiritual world and in this world when he manifested he manifested in a particular form and then we know we knew him in this form primarily as a Sanyasi who was travelling all over the world in preaching so whatever Swarupa Krishna he he has in the spiritual world he will be serving him there and if Krishna wills that those are the faithful followers of Prabhupada will meet him then certainly they will meet and Sri Prabhupada at times said that when we return to the spiritual world he will introduce us to Krishna so in what form exactly that will happen and how it will happen that all depends on Krishna’s inconceivably perfect will so as devotees we have the gift of Krishna consciousness that Sri Prabhupada has given us that gift is written and in many ways the relationship that we establish at the spiritual level over here will continue in the spiritual world also how exactly they will continue what will be our Swarupa what will be Prabhupada’s Swarupa how we will meet, how will we know each other that we cannot know right now based on our limited understanding and especially whether we would want to know what happened in the material world it is also a matter of question of course by the way we practice devotional service in the material world it is a religion and if Krishna wants we can remember it but as devotees we don’t primarily focus on expecting anything from Krishna we focus on trying to serve Krishna primarily and in whatever way he wants we will do that in the spiritual world eternally that is the gift Krishna Prabhupada has given us and that is what we should focus on desiring and continuing eternally
