In closing here is a portion from Bengali conversations which we had with HDG Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Mayapur in 1973 while working on Sri Upadeshamrita (Nectar of Instruction):
QUESTION:
Prabhupada, what about manasa-seva, like the brahmana who burnt his finger in meditation? Isn’t that bhajan?
SRILA PRABHUPADA:
Krishna makes no distinction. But if you serve Krishna by mind He will accept. That is sure!
QUESTION:
Prabhupada, whenever I mention anything about Rupanuga bhakti many of my Godbrothers get angry and say it is all a bunch of Gaudiya Math nonsense, and you never taught that!
SRILA PRABHUPADA:
Everything is coming, they will also know it.
QUESTION:
Prabhupada, is the “asta-kaliya-lila” by Kaviraj Gosvami the *real* Nitya-lila detail?
SRILA PRABHUPADA:
Yes.
QUESTION:
I would like to mention “asta-kaliya-lila” in this sloka 10 (Nectar of Instruction). So we can all know from you the highest goal. What do you think?
SRILA PRABHUPADA:
Yes, you put it!!!
