The Gift Prabhupada project has received high appreciation from the Governing Body Commission (GBC) for its success in serving Srila Prabhupada’s direct disciples. Led by Madana-mohan Dasa, this initiative involves gifting a 54 mm miniature lifelike brass murti of Srila Prabhupada in a box with a fragment of the jackfruit tree under which Srila Prabhupada was born. Coins donated for his books from each of the 25 countries he visited were also added to the alloy of this murti.
Recognizing the project’s significance, the GBC is encouraging devotees worldwide to participate, as it not only symbolizes Srila Prabhupada’s teachings across the globe but also serves as a heartfelt tribute to his disciples. Click here to watch the video of the GBC appreciating the project.
Speaking of the GBC’s appreciation, Madana-mohan Dasa said, “Srila Prabhupada empowered the GBC not only as the ultimate managerial authority but also as the main unifying force to preserve and represent his mood of care for all of ISKCON members, especially for his ‘dear sons and daughters.’ The words of support and appreciation by the GBC inspired the Gift Prabhupada team and all of its participants, as coming directly from Srila Prabhupada. It feels that our effort to extend Srila Prabhupada in this murti form to all of his beloved disciples has brought a happy smile to his lotus face.”
He further highlighted that, as Lord Krishna states in the Bhagavad-gita, a leader’s actions set the standard for others to follow. By recognizing and encouraging the Gift Prabhupada project as a gesture of gratitude to Srila Prabhupada’s disciples, he explained, the GBC nurtures a culture of appreciation within ISKCON, inspiring devotees to honor and serve those who have dedicated their lives to Srila Prabhupada’s mission.
