Hare Krishna,dear Devotees.

Every devotee has his own relationship with and vision of Srila Prabhupada.

His going to London in that condition was another incredible pastime that clearly sets Srila Prabhupada apart from the rest. There, his disciples danced with full enthusiasm before t
Srila Prabhupada's Risks and Difficulties
When we say that a preacher takes risks, it does not just mean physical risks. He also risks his reputation and his own spiritual standing. For instance, giving initiation is a risk, especially to less qualified candidates. For a disciple to fall down is a blot on the guru. Srila Prabhupada took tremendous risks. He initiated, not a few, but several thousand disciples from undisciplined, uncultured backgrounds. He gave sannyasa to unlikely candidates: you
