Thank you so much for joining us today so we are back here celebrating Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita and we’re so grateful for your active participation for the past so many weeks and we’re going to continue with deep absorption in reading and listening to these beautiful lectures and presentations by so many wonderful exalted devotees that are helping us develop the mood for this upcoming Gaura Purnima festival.
So today it’s our great honor and privilege to have Her Grace Vishaka devi with us. Hare Krishna Vishaka Prabhu please accept my hble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you so much for joining us Vishaka Prabhu, it’s such an honor to have you on this platform and to be able to welcome you and hear your deep realizations and reflections.
I’m not sure how deep but I enjoy the conversations with you.
Thank you so much! Visakha Prabhu is such a well-known devotee because of her contribution to this movement in her so many various different capacities, as a writer as Srila Prabhupada’s photographer, as a co-producer and co-director for this wonderful movie “The Hare Krishna Movement”, her book “5 years 11 months” is one of my favorite books I like to go back to that it’s so beautiful, her sharing, I actually visualize most of whatever you share there makes me feel so close to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you so much for your lifetime of devotion Vishaka Prabhu, it’s such an honor and such a wonderful example for us to follow, so thank you for joining us and our topic for today is the “Hare Krishna Movement – One person’s vision, explosion into a revolution” so it’s amazing that what should a visioned sitting in a small room in Sri Radha Damodara Temple with the intense prayers has now exploded into this Hare Krishna movement help us reflect and take us back into the time when Srila Prabhupada actually walked the planet, thank you.
Thank you so much Govinda Priya Prabhu for inviting me to join you to converse on this wonderful topic. I was reflecting that in a very real sense the Hare Krishna movement began in 1922 which is 99 years ago now next year it will be a hundred years but that of course is the year that Srila Prabhupada first met Srila Bhaktisiddhanta and receive the instruction from him.
