I was born in a different family, my Guru Maharaja was born in a different family. Who knew that I will come to his protection? Who knew that I would come in America? Who knew that you American boys will come to me? These are all Krsna's arrangement. We cannot understand how things are taking place.

(Srila Prabhupada, on Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Disappearance Day, December 9, 1968, Los Angeles)
