On the disappearance of Sri Guru A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada: This is one of my favorites, where he is gesticulating to make a point. Vaishnavas never die, however... He lives on in his books and recordings. Srila Prabhupada KIJAYA!!!!!!!!

“The Guru is not an erring mortal whose activities can be understood by the fallible reason of unreclaimed humanity. There is an eternally impassable line of demarcation between the Saviour and the saved. Those who are really saved can alone know this.” ( Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Srila Prabhupada)
We sing the following prayers everyday in front of Srila Prabhupada. It is related to the same verse that is in Srimad Bhagavad Gita 10.11.
Cakshu dana dilo jei janme janme prabhu sei divya jnana hrdaya prakasito
prema bhakti jaha hoite avidya vinasha jate vede gaya jahara charito
Yasya deve para bhaktir
Yatha deve tatha gurau
Tasyaite kathita hy arthah
Prakasante mahatmanah
“Only unto those great souls who simultaneously have implicit faith in both the Lord and the Spiritual Master are all the imports of Vedic knowledge automatically revealed.” Svetsvatara Upanisad 6.23
