ISKCON Namacharya Aindra Prabhu

Posted by Amogha das on July 18, 2010 at 12:30pm
"When devotees announced we should pray for him, I thought "rather we
should pray TO him, that we might also get dedication to chanting
Krishna's holy name and go back to Godhead."



ISKCON Namacharya Aindra Prabhu

In one of my favourite classes by Srila Prabhuapada, he indicates that
the Bhagavad-gita is not a book of knowledge that can be understood
simply by study. Krishna says, "tesam satata yuktanam bhajatam prithi

Aindra Prabhu--Words of Appreciation by His Holiness Kadamba Kanan Maharaj

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on July 17, 2010 at 9:30pm
By HG Krsna-kripa Prabhu

Kadamba Kanana Swami shocked me today, telling me just after I finished japa, that Aindra Prabhu had just left his body in Vrindavana. How unexpected! How sad for the devotees who love his kirtanas and his association!


I had just been thinking of my association with him this week when I was in Zurich. I met one harinama enthusiast there, who aspired to become his disciple, and so I was recalling my brief exchanges with him.


In 2005, I was part of Aindra Prabhu’s 24-hour kir

Departure of HG Vicitravirya Prabhu

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on July 17, 2010 at 10:04am
Hari Bol Devotees,

This evening at 7.18pm, Vicitravirya prabhu passed away in very peaceful and blessed circumstances. His departure was very gentle in the presence of his children and devotees with Srila Prabhupada's kirtan. We had been able to make all the preparations, offer our prayers and encourage Vici to place himself solely in Prabhupada's hands. We will miss him dearly, but are relieved that he is free of such a debilitated condition and is now on his way to continue his service to the s

Go On Increasing the Asset

Posted by Mayapur Vasi Das on July 17, 2010 at 10:02am
Devotee: Prabhupada, are all one’s tiny efforts to serve Krishna virtually useful?

Srila Prabhupada: That I have already explained. You are already coming here, and even though you are not initiated, just your coming is also service. So if you deposit one cent daily, one day it may become a hundred dollars. When you get a hundred dollars you can buy the business. So you come here daily, one cent, one cent; and when it will be hundred dollars, you will become a devotee. No effort is wasted. Sukad
