The complex includes a temple, a museum, gardens, fountains, and an auditorium. Devotees spent seven years building it—through bitter winters, months on scaffolds and long hours in craft shops—pitching in whatever talents and energy they had. Admission was free, and so was the mantra—all you needed was the sincerity to chant. The now-renovated temple is active again. Just Servant.
That is material. The same example, that iron rod, if kept to the fire, gradually it becomes war m, warmer, and at last it becomes red.
When it is red, it is no longer iron; it is fire. Similarly, by spiritual association, your body gradually becomes spiritualized.
And at the perfection stage, there is no more material activities, simply the activities of the fire. It is not for everyone, and those who are very, very much spiritually advanced, their body becomes like that.
It is entombed. They worship the body. But that is spiritual body. So according to Vedas saint's body is spiritual. So it is not burned. But kept in Samadhi. As like Yamunacharya's body. On the strength of the name of Sri Krsna, and with great attachment to and consciousness of Krsna, he went to foreign countries in every corner of the world to spread the glory and message of Krsna consciousness.
The only real meaning and goal of human life is to love Lord Krsna and be a servant of Lord Krsna. Take shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Krsna, and you will easily reach self-realization and be released from all anxieties and miseries caused by the entanglement of birth and death. Spreading these teachings all over the world cannot be done by any ordinary man. Only one who is specially empowered by God and guru to fulfill the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu can do what Srila Prabhupada has done.

But when the living being turns away from God and forgets God, he comes under the control of maya [illusion] and becomes entangled in the cycle of birth and death wandering through 8,, forms of life.
God and the devotees of God do no like to see the living beings suffer. So out of compassion for them, to bless them they incarnate within this material world.
Five hundred years ago the Lord appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for the deliverance of the fallen souls of Kali-yuga [the present age of quarrel and hypocrisy]. He spread the glory of Krsna and love of Krsna all over India. His followers carried on His mission.
But in the course of time, owing to the influence of Kali-yuga, people in general became degraded. They became mad after sensual enjoyment. The teachings and the love of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu were forgotten, and the succession was broken.
Then, in , to reestablish the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu — to revive love of God for the welfare of the world—Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvat Gosvami Maharaja, an eternal servant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, appeared on this earth. It was he who revived the work of Sri Caitanya. To assist him he had so many great disciples, but out of these disciples Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was the most prominent, for he actually spread the message of his gurudeva in the Western countries.
