I want this book, Be Prepared, to have two meanings, two themes. One is "be prepared for death." To make this theme solid, I will print quotes from Prabhup da's purports where he writes about death, both the wrong approach to death by the nondevotees, and the good approach by those taking shelter of the Lord. The other theme of the book is "be prepared" - for approaching R dh and K a. To make this theme strong, I will quote excerpts from Srila R pa Gosv m 's Ujjvala-n lama i. This is a beautiful book with quotes about R dh and K a's love. I especially like the ones where R dh r breaks Her mana (jealous anger) and goes back to K a with love. Sometimes She breaks Her mana with the assistance of Lalit , and sometimes She breaks it when She hears the sound of K a's flute. In many of the excerpts She quotes Her undying, absolute love for K a, and in some places, He expresses His absolute love for Her. There will be other things in the book that are not on the two themes of death and R dh -K a, but they are the main themes.
