Srila Prabhupada:There is no difference between me and my picture

“There is no difference between me and my picture. Therefore we should honor and keep pictures in that spirit. If we throw pictures this way and that way, that is offence. The name and picture are as good as the person in spiritual world. In the material world either picture or person, everything is illusion.”

(Srila Prabhupada letter, September 4, 1972)
