But you have to change this body. Tatha dehantara-praptih. We are eternal. Na jayate na mriyate va kadacit. The soul does not take birth; neither it dies. We simply change body. Tatha dehantara-praptih. Just like we are changing our body. In mother's womb we had a small body. It grows, and we come out. Again it grows. Grows...It is not actually growing, it is changing. The child is changing his body to baby, the baby is changing his body to boy, and the boy is changing his body to youthhood. Then...in this way you are changing body. That you have got experience. You had a child's body--you remember. Or you had a boy's body--you remember. But the body is no longer existing. But you are existing. Therefore the conclusion is that when this body will be no more fit for existing we shall have to accept another body. This is called tatha dehantara-praptih. So we have to change. That is nature's law. The soul is immortal. Na jayate na mriyate va kadacit na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. The soul is not finished, simply a particular type of body being finished, no. The people do not know it. And because they are simply engaged in sinful activities, their brain has become so dull that they cannot understand this simple truth that as you are changing body in this life therefore you will change this body to another life. This is very simple truth. But at the advancement of material civilization, we have become so dull and rascal that we cannot understand it.
[Srila Prabhupada from a Srimad-Bhagavatam Lecture,Melbourne, May 19,1975]

I do not think that you are reborn to a different culture, You stay within your own. This man Prabhupada will never be reborn as a white man. Sorry, but that's wishful thinking on his part. Can't and never did happen in the past. But his own culture is moving into another realization, of what can be. Possibly by the influence of other cultures he encounters. But only upon acceptance of those ideals, can one grow their own culture to a higher understanding.
My instinct has always told me the soul is immortal but it's virtually impossible to witness on this earth. Prabhupada touches on real truths.. many thanks
"The spiritual master is to be honoured as much as the Supreme Lord as He is the most confidential servitor of the Lord."Its there in scripture I think the Bhagavad Gita.He doesnt desire to be worshipped in fact He is the only one who doesnt but He has to accept it as His duty God orders Him to.Its actually good for us to offer Him worship.
Hindu is a modern word used to describe the people of the Indus river valley area of India. He is a Bengali Vaishnava, devotee of Lord Caitanya and Radha Krsna coming recently throught the six Goswamis, or 6 renounced saints of Vrndavana, specifically Sri Rupa Goswami. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta is Srila Prabhupada's guru, known as the lion guru. Bhakti reformers, for equal non sectarian treatment of all including women, animals, all castes, religions, ultimately for love of Godhead; Krsna.
hindu is a designation related to the people of the Indus river valley, now in Pakistan. nonetheless, term has been widely accepted, though it has no mention in any scripture. This is A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, founder and eternal master of the Hare Krsna Movement,. a Bengali style Vaisnava, devotee of Radha -Krsna and Sri Caitanya, in succession from Krsna to Madhva to Caitanya to Rupa Goswami to Bhaktivinode, Bhaktisiddhanta, to our Srila Prabhupada. Nice question! More!
There is no origin within limited material time. The differences between you and Krsna define your relationship with Godhead. Godhead expands into infinte Beings with varieties of potencies and forms and natures, all one, yet none exactly alike. Demigods, demons, men, alines, plants, rivers, all contain the spark of God that they are. You are He, but related as tiny soul relative to Supreme Godhead. In short, the energies, shaktis come from the shaktiman, Krsna. We are to share love eternally.
