Finally available: the highly acclaimed memoir from
Srila Prabhupada’s personal photographer: Visakha Dasi
“Five Years, Eleven Months”
and a lifetime of unexpected love.
“Brilliant photographs … a talented writer … her descriptions are lyrical and evocative.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“A brilliant work of introspection, candor, narrative, and hope from which I learned much, not only about Visakha, Yadubara, Srila Prabhupada, and their interactions and service, which have been described in vivid detail, but also about myself: Visakha’s insights into her conditioning and her efforts to achieve transcendence gave me tools with which to evaluate my own conditioning and attempts in Krishna consciousness. Also, reading her descriptions of events to which I was party, or in knowledge, was refreshing; she saw things that I missed, or saw them from a different perspective—that of an extremely intelligent, clear-eyed, frank, dedicated, tenacious woman with a wry sense of humor. The book is accessible to all sorts of readers, with or without background in Krishna consciousness, and will be captivating and enlightening to any open, honest person, but even more so to devotees, to lovers of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krishna. It is so rich and deep that I have read portions repeatedly and gained fresh insights every time.”
—Giriraj Swami
“A wonderful read! The honesty and introspection is refreshing. It gives a vision of the power of association with the Lord’s pure devotee. Thank you Visakha for this special memoir.”
— Rucira Devi Dasi
“A masterpiece … it appeals to both young and old devotees.”
— Arcana-siddhi Devi Dasi
