Following a Vrindavan Inhabitant

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: It sometimes occurred to Prabhupada's disciples that he was that eternal resident of Vrindavana who was their "ideal leader." In a conversation about following a resident of Vrindavana, Revatinandana Dasa pointed out that because Prabhupada was always in Vrindavana consciousness, his disciples were following a Vrindavana inhabitant. 

Yamuna: "You mention in the Teachings of Lord Caitanya that a devotee in attachment selects one of the Vrindavana inhabitants and follows in his footsteps in order to be successful in his own devotional service. Does that mean that one of our spiritual masters is an eternal representative of Vrindavana?"

Revatinandana: "But you have said that you are always in Vrindavana, so we are following a Vrindavana inhabitant."

Prabhupada: "Yes." (laughter)
