लाल अंगोछा,पीली धोती
हाथ में कंगन,गले में मोती
ऐसा रूप सजा कान्हा का
लगता जैसे जगमत ज्योति

बैजयंती माला है लटके
पैर में पैजनिया बाजे
केसर तिलक शोभे सिर पे
कमर में करधनी साजे

कान में कुंडल,आँखों में काजल,
और होठों पे है लाली
मोर पंख के साथ है खिलती
सिर पे ये पगड़ी निराली

काली-काली लटों के बीच
श्यामल-सा ये मुखड़ा
जैसे सूरज चमक रहा हो
और पीछे बादल का टुकड़ा

मंद-मंद मुस्काए कान्हा,
वंशी बजाये मीठे गीत
मादक मुरली सुनके राधा
आ गयी तोड़ जगत के रीत.

Nakula Kaufman: For many, many years H.G. Aindra prabhu presided in Vrndavan over the group of boys and men that comprised the 24 hour kirtan yatra. The ashrama became famous not only for exporting the most attractive, potent and infective Kirtan in the world but as a training ground for many a young devotee to imbibe the mood and hone the skills of the performance of Hare Nama Sankirtana. Aindra prabhu was a master of inspiring and training such boys, many of whom often entered as rough cut sto

In Loving Memory of Aindra Das


The first time I visited India was in 1989. My flight arrived at the Delhi Airport at some early hour and I took a precarious taxi ride through the morning fog to the holy town of Vrindavan. Upon arriving, I prostrated in the dust of Vraja and headed straight for the Krishna Balaram Temple. It was shortly after the daily scriptural discourse and the place was nearly empty. As I approached the foot of the alter a musician caught my attention. He was alone, sitting before the shrine of Sri Sri Rad

Once, Krsna came to this place while grazing His cows. The forest was filled with green grass, which the cows happily ate. Without any care, Sri Krsna and the sakhas began to play a game of "cops and robbers". Many of the sakhas pretended to be sheep while others pretented to be their keepers. Still others took on the role of thieves and stole the sheep. Krsna played the judge. The owners of the sheep filed a lawsuit with the judge ag

Destiny

Destiny = The inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is

destined. A predetermined course of events considered as something beyond human

power or control

Arjuna was a military man, and born of the nature of the ksatriya. Therefore his natural duty was to fight. But due to false ego he was fearing that by killing his teacher, grandfather and friends he would incur sinful reactions. Actually he was considering himself master of his actions, as if he were directing the good

In Teheran

Teheran, Iran

August 7th, 1976

The Air France flight brought us into Teheran airport at 7:30 p.m. Srila Prabhupada's GBC for the Middle East, Atreya Rsi prabhu, and Mr. Patel, a Gujarati Vaisnava with the Vallabhacarya sect, were already inside the airport waiting to greet Srila Prabhupada. In order to expedite our entrance into the country Atreya Rsi asked us to sit to one side while he and his companion approached the immigration counter with our passports.

Krsna consciousness movement gives knowledge about the destiny of life

Everyone desires to achieve the ultimate goal of life, but in modern civilization the great scientists think that man's life has no plan. This gross ignorance is very dangerous and makes civilization very risky. People do not know the laws of nature, which are the rulings of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because they are atheists of the first order, they have no faith in the existence of God and His rulings and therefore

Who would not miss Aindra Prabhu? Even the dham of Vrindavan will miss him. Whoever has listened to his bhajan has been transferred into the Vaikunta realm by a unique and outer-worldly sound vibration. I remember the times in Bulgaria when we were living under very austere temple conditions: taking baths in snow water, freezing in the winter and squashing body to body in the small rooms. We were preaching boldly in the streets and constantly listening to Aindra Prabhu. The sound of his chanting

PROCESS OF IMPROVING HABITS......

Transcribed lecture on the topic - Process of improving habits

We are discussing here, 2008, on the Puri beach, Japa meditations. And we are on page 31. Radha Vallabhadas, he gives three parts to reformjapa. If we want to improve our japa, reform our japa, there are 3 parts.

First we should spend one week observing our japa. Because the idea of reform, it is called ‘japa reform’, reform means to improve. So you can’t improve something unless you recognize the need for improvement, right? If you th

AN OFFERING OF THE HEART by Radhanath Swami

As the effulgent sun of Sri Aindra Prabhu’s divine personality has risen in the spiritual world of Goloka Vrindaban, the sun of his physical presence has set in Gokula, the Vrindaban of this world. And we cry in separation.

The glorious life of Aindra Prabhu personifies determination and devotion, all aimed exclusively for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara. His heart floods like the Yamuna while being inundated by the monsoon of Srila Prabhupad

There is a saying, Srila Prabhupada even used it. There is a saying that a preacher is least appreciated in his own hometown. And I guess that’s just normal. So we shouldn’t get too upset if that thing happens to us.

Anyhow, I see most the devotees seem to be rather new devotees, so I don’t know, you know, how much you gonna be able to put this

I remember in New York - in the Brooklynn temple (the one that was bought after the Manhattan building was sold). Aindra prabhu was so into kirtan. I remember that many of the ladies would make fun of him because they didn't appreciate his singing. He put together a beautiful altar which he attached to the back of a flatbed truck. It became known as the Harinama truck. He used to work on that project a lot, sometimes very late into the evening.

Once he said to me "Do you know what Romapada Mahara

Aindra Prabhu


By the members of the GBC Executive Committee

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It is with deeply sad hearts that we have come to know about the sudden passing of His Grace Aindra Prabhu.

There is possibly no devotee in the entire world of ISKCON who has not heard one of Aindra Prabhu’s kirtans, either live or from a recording, and has been left wondering whether this celestial singing was coming from this earth or from ano

Continuation of Part 1


Breaking down false ego

In the Caitanya-caritamrta in the chapter called the bheda kirtans we see a description of how Lord Caitanya divided the devotees into various kirtan groups. There were four kirtan groups each having twomrdanga players, and eight kartal players, That's sixteen kartala players and six lead singers, simultaneously singing the lead with six lead responders simultaneously responding.

I have incorporated that standard to a large extent in my own endeavors t

In Memory of Sripad Aindra Prabhu

(The following is an interview with Sripad Aindra dasa done last year for the forthcoming book Kirtan Meditations The Mood and Technique of Bhakti Kirtan compiled by Dhanurdhara Swami and Akincana Krishna dasa. Due to the unexpected loss of this great soul I decided to release his interview quite before the editing has been finished. I hope it gives some pleasure and solace to the congregation of the devotees feeling the loss of this great soul.)
