"Now, you American boys and girls who have taken to this movement, please take it more seriously. That is the mission of Lord Caitanya and my guru maharaj, and we are also trying to execute the will by disciplic succession. You have come forward to help me. I shall request you all that I shall go away, but you shall live. Don't give up pushing on this movement, and you'll be blessed by Lord Caitanya and His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Prabhupada."
(Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami's Disappearance Day lecture, December 9, 1969, Los Angeles)
