Question: What was the destination of the soul of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura’s son, the son says I am now going to another father and mother. But because he died hearing Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu’skīrtana, will he have rebirth or go back to Godhead?

Jayapataka Swami: I knew that someone would ask this question! The son was being very humble. But he was saying in the normal sequence that after each birth, he would be sent to another body. But he has qualified, he said that, if You want me to take another birth. He was talking to Kṛṣṇa, Caitanya Mahāprabhu.But Śrīvāsa said, that since he left his body hearing the kīrtana of Lord Caitanya, so certainly he would not have to take another birth. The point is that Śrīvāsa’s son, he is saying that even if he has to take another birth, it does not bother him, but he wants to always be in the devotional service of the Lord. So, once you taste the nectar of kṛṣṇa-bhakti, you don’t want any separation from the Lord.
