At the GBC Annual General Meeting 2026 in Mayapur, Madan Mohan Dasa shared a report with the gathered leaders on the “Gift Prabhupada” project, an initiative designed to honor and reconnect with the living disciples of ISKCON’s Founder-Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Additionally, in an interview with GBC Communications Director Parijata Devi Dasi, Madan Mohan, a GBC deputy and initiating guru, explained that the project’s goal is to present each of Srila Prabhupada’s surviving disciples with a small, lifelike brass murti of their spiritual master as a token of gratitude for their lifetime of dedication and service.
Approximately 2,500 disciples of Srila Prabhupada are still living, and the project has already distributed around 1,800 of these murtis. Each murti is crafted from alloy brass made with coins donated for Prabhupada’s books in the 25 countries he personally visited. The presentation box, which also serves as a small altar, includes a piece of the jackfruit tree from under which Srila Prabhupada was born in Kolkata.
The initiative, supported by the GBC, was presented at the AGM as it nears completion, with plans to continue making the murtis available at Prabhupada’s birthplace in Kolkata and to maintain contact with his disciples through the database created during the project.
