The Prabhupada Memories project is not only nearing a significant milestone of nearly 100 DVDs totaling 450+ interviews of direct disciples of Srila Prabhupada, but it is also reaching thousands of new listeners thanks to the power of social media. The Memories project now has a social media team producing eye-catching short posts across several social media platforms. Most recently, the Prabhupada Memories YouTube channel quadrupled its subscribers in just a few weeks (now over 22K followers), thanks to Ishvara Gauranga Das, who posted a video on his YouTube channel promoting the Memories project. Siddhanta Das, the creator of the Prabhupada Memories series, stated, “This is a service of sharing. The more these memories can be shared, the more people will be inspired by the personality and wisdom of His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada.”
Siddhanta first came in contact with Prabhupada’s teachings and ISKCON in 1970 while working as a film editor in Dallas, Texas. Later, he was initiated as Prabhupada’s disciple in 1974 in Denver, Colorado. In 1978 Siddhanta moved to Los Angeles, where he became the co-producer and editor for ISKCON Television (ITV), which created such classics as “The Acharya” series, “The Ramayana,” “Coming Back-Reincarnation in America,” and the 1984 classic and always relevant “Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise.”
