Hari Sauri Prabhu's Back to Vrindavana pulls his readers into Srila Prabhupada's personal association during his final days in Sri Vrindavana-dhama. We are at Srila Prabhupada's bedside, witnesses to the loving pastimes of his last months and the most intimate exchanges with his loyal servant. And Hari Sauri Prabhu subtly draws us into his own heart as it is pierced with separation from his beloved spiritual master. In his Padyavali, Srila Rupa Gosvami wrote of the gopis' letter to Krsna wherein they revealed the pain in their hearts after He left Vrndavana:
"When Krishna read these words they entered His heart like a javelin, causing Him unbearable pain. May that javelin enter your hearts and protect you all."
May Hari Sauri Prabhu's words similarly enter the hearts of the readers, flooding us with loving separation from, and the protection of, our beloved Srila Prabhupada.
