Yamuna Devi, an ISKCON pioneer, one of the first disciples of Srila Prabhupada, and a much loved and deeply inspiring figure for devotees all over the world, passed away on December 20th, 2011. Now, as a tribute to her on this ninth year of her passing, Dinatarini Devi, Yamuna’s companion in devotional life for 37 years, has compiled her original Deity book, Yamuna Devi: A Study of Seva Puja.
Coming this Spring, the historical gem details Yamuna Devi’s studies in Deity worship from the early 1970s, including her extensive India studies with temple sevaites and her later years of worship of Sri Sri Radha-Banabehari.
Yamuna Devi originally wrote the work in response to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions to learn from the Goswami temples in Vrindavan, and later expanded it. The book also includes a section dedicated to Sri Sri Radha-Banabehari and Yamuna’s beautiful shringar and paraphernalia designs for Them.
“Memorializing Yamuna Devi’s extraordinary Deity seva puja in this book has brought great happiness to those of us who participated in it, and we pray it may bring joy to the hearts of the Vaishnavas,” says Dinatarini Devi.
