Krishna gave us a chance before Maharaj departed from this world to really appreciate within our hearts how much he means to us, through our intense prayers, through our feelings of hopelessness, through our feelings of helplessness, taking shelter of his mercy and through his mercy, the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and the Panchatatma. So, yes i do believe that Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj was called by Srila Prabhupada and external circumstances, there's no reason to really trying to figure those things out. His departure is perfect. The external circumstances are details. A person who has surrendered his life, his soul to the service of Guru in compassion to others we know that the whole Parampara is with that person, that Sri Radha Madhava was present at that time and actually maybe not on a physical level but on a spiritual level, there are tens and thousands of devotees who were around his bedsides and heart praying and chanting and crying in love for him. He was not alone. Bhakti Charu Swami is with us and he's bringing us all to Srila Prabhupada which is the only wish of his life, to bring us closer to Srila Prabhupada and in doing so, to bring us closer to each other. Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj very much emphasized the Family of ISKCON, the Family of Srila Prabhupada's movement and it's times like this when taking his instruction very much to heart is so important. Because in times of crisis a family really needs to come together. I am very speechless and feel very helpless at this time. Still I feel maharaja's presence, I feel and I see and I experience his smile, his glance of affection and that is empowering me and it can empower all of us to move forward in Srila Prabhupada’s service. Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj ki Jai.
