Ekendra Das has undertaken the monumental task of recording an unabridged audiobook of Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita, which is a detailed account of the life and legacy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami requested this service of Ekendra, which holds immense significance for the entire ISKCON community.
The goal of this project is to preserve and disseminate Prabhupada’s teachings and life story to a modern, digitally connected audience. Through this endeavor, Ekendra is not only honoring ISKCON’s founder but also ensuring that his transformative teachings continue to inspire future generations. His journey, marked by personal trials and dedication, is a testament to the power of faith and resilience.
Ekendra’s foray into audiobook narration began with an unexpected challenge. Shortly after committing to the project, he developed a condition known as muscle tension dysphonia, severely impacting his voice. This condition, often triggered by overuse and improper vocal habits, threatened to derail his efforts. “I developed a nasty case of muscle tension dysphonia from the overuse and poor habits from my previous recordings,” Ekendra recalled. Determined to overcome this obstacle, he sought vocal therapy and adopted new techniques to protect and preserve his voice.
