- Srila Prabhupada
- Visnujana Swami was an incredibly enthusiastic kirtan leader in the early days of ISKCON. He generally lived in California but was seen all over the country and in India also leading ecstatic kirtans.
In the 1960's and 1970's the Sankirtana Party meant 40 or more devotees who would be out on the streets chanting Hare Krishna by 10:00 AM and would still be out there chanting at 7:00 PM. Six days a week. And Visnujan Swami would lead kirtans, sometimes eighteen hours a day, starting from Mangal Aroti in the morning at 4:00 AM and ending in the evening in temple at 10:00 PM.
This film tells his story.

Barry Birjasingh 6 months agoCannot describe the feeling seing and listening to this , tears , emotions . He is serving Srila Prabhupad somewhere in the universe, chanting his lungs out and busting up his fingers , nothing like being tired , just going and going . And yes the Indians will accept him in their hearts as guru and it will manifest at present or in the future . All these activities took place in all the Holy Dham .
Miss bloody Mary 1 year agoThe missionary zeal of ISKCON needs to be brought back. Our movement is somehow stagnant to Rath Yatra and book distribution. Each and every member should spread the glory and enlightenment of Shri Krishna to the non believers and the worshippers of false god . We need to act now and save their souls. 🕉️🕉️🕉️🚩🚩🚩 Hare krishna 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻- — 3

Being Frank 1 year agoWhat a sad. sad story! I wish the exagerations that are written in order to teach a point were not used! To repent and do some kind of penance is the Way, NOT suicide! H.DG Prabhupada did say it was not to be taken literally, though. 🙏

I knew Vishnujana well since 1969 in Los Angeles ....He committed suicide at age 28 in India ..He was possibly BI POLAR ....and the instructions of Swami Bhaktivedanta stating that some devotees of the 16 century did commit suicide for having sex certainly played a role in his suicide ..- — 2

Manyu 1 year agoThis just shows your ignorance to claim HDG Srila Prabhupada as not a true master , No one in the world can do what he did to save humanity. HG Vishnujana is also great devotee of Lord Krishna and his devotion shows how much he was devoted to follow the path. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita stated that from Him comes remembrance , knowledge so whatever happened was knew by Lord. HG Vishnujana knew the entire life of Lord Chaitanya and He knew what happened to the Sanyasi that disobeyed the orders of Lord Chaitanya and ended his life. Even to that Sanyasi Lord Chaitanya was so merciful and still gave his association to him. So from this we can understand the Devotee is always above the laws of material nature. Only to the Karmis these laws will act. So even though Vishnujana did this He was following Lord Chaitanya and therefore even if he didn't listen full answer given by Srila Prabhupada , He is sure to be in Godhead. I'm saying this by the evidences of mercy given by Lord Chaitanya. Without the mercy of Lord Krishna even a grass won't move plus he lives in our hearts as Paramatman. He knew how much HG Vishnujana was devoted to Srila Prabhupada and Lord himself. He knew the wonderful works done by Vishnujana. Simply by one act he won't be rejected plus He was following the order of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. From materialistic point of view it would sound like an act of karmi. To those who are in Ignorance they will think only in terms of bodily concept of life. But a devotee is always beyond these all like Lord Brahma. In scriptures it is said even though devotees sometimes looks like seemingly fell down they are like fires and sin cannot touch them. HG Vishnujana had all the mercy of HDG Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna even in the point of his final moments. Now there's no reason for you to speak bad about a great personality like HDG Srila Prabhupada because he was stating the events happened in Lord Chaitanya's life who was predicted in scriptures 5000 years ago.- — 5

Lisa Gallo 1 year agoLord Sri Krishna is in control of absolutely everything, but we have free will! Visnujana Swami's life instilled beauty into a dark world. He took his Spiritual Master's words to heart, and, if he missed the end of those last words, that was the Supreme Lord Krsna's desire, to bring him home because Visnujana wanted to go back home, and that should never be taken as a fault on the part of Srila Prabhupada (as some say in the comments below). Thank you, this is how he will be remembered.- — 7
WOLF22 1 year agoOnly God can decide when your life on this earthly plane is over ,because if we are here there is a VERY PRECISE REASON . you cannot decide YOU when to go and how . Now ,Visnujana mistakenly followed absurd words of his Guru which led him to unbearable guilt and depression and to commit an act sanctioned by scripture for something natural and perfectly FORGIVABLE for a Human Being and a Spiritual Soul- — 1
- WOLF22 1 year agoAs far as I understood ,there had not even been a physical sexual act , although even that is not ,even for a renunciate ,something unforgivable ,just a small stumble from Which ,one normally gets up and Continues the Path ..if not , 80% of the Devotees would have had to kill themselves , and for MUCH worse things , in some cases.

- WOLF22 1 year ago@Angel82NYCContrary..I am WELL AWAKE..to speak as he did to Visnujana , was to order him to die. Only he didn't even realize it..probably.
Mark Hill 1 year agoSounds like you're jealous... Vasudeva is all-pervading and in the heart of every living being... Nothing happens by chance or is someone's mistake... We live in a temporary world and are here to learn; there is nothing to regret. The only thing to regret is not wanting to learn. Hare Krishna 🙏- — 2
- WOLF22 1 year ago@markhill7743I am not jealous of anything , I just stick to the Truth,which is" an Attribute of the Divine .
Kathryn dePoo 1 year agoYou were clearly not there, yet you have the audacity to judge both Visnujana swami and Srila Prabhupada and call it truth. Who's truth?
We do not know what was in the heart of Visnujana swami when he last spoke to Srila Prabhupada.
Although likely, we also do not know that he committed suicide.
We do know that Srila Prabhupada was very pained by his departure.
Visnujana Swami was a wonderful devotee, unparalleled in his exceptional qualities.. but he was human.
Every soul has independence... we are also fallible.. prone to mistakes.
Had he stayed to hear Srila Prabhupada's entire statement that day he might have made a different choice if he did indeed choose suicide.
But as previously stated there are no accidents... at least none that Krishna can't rectify.
It is safe to say that an amazing soul like Visnujana Swami has a special place in both Srila Prabhupada's and Krishna's hearts.
Wherever he is today I suspect he is chanting Krsna's name.. he remains glorious and an inspiration.- — 2
- WOLF22 1 year ago@kanti8121I don't judge Visnujana ,he was completely surrendered to his Guru , that it only took a few ABSURD words to bring him to his death ..that should not have been spoken by a True Master..
- WOLF22 1 year agoProblably Because he wanted to immitate a past Saint who had said the same things to a Disciple to Whom the same thing had happened....

- WOLF22 1 year ago@manyu8783di Look , all this religious nonsense based on blind faith and Without discernment I leave it to you I am not in the business of judging whether it was a sin for Visnujana , he was obviously fragile and did not have the strength to discern when his Guru erred producing in the poor boy an exaggerated sense of guilt ,to say the least , and inducing a severe sense of depression ,Without Prabhupada recognizing it . .yes ,whether you like it or not even saints can make mistakes and this was an incitement to suicide that ,perhaps Unintentionally , came out of the mouth of your master . Now , such a mistake on the part of a Master , who is supposed to be a Father and Mother to the disciple , who is supposed to convey the Supreme Love of God is a serious thing , and one that must be acknowledged , so that Devotion does not become a lack of right use of the great gift God has given us from His Consciousness : Common Sense..

- POWER Editz 5 months ago@ziggyschumann5284I have deep regards for that Real ISKCON, I was doing wonderful work, everyday devotees were seen preaching, so beautiful it was. During Srila Prabhupada's time, when devotees like Vishnujana Swami, Jayananda Prabhu, also Aindra Prabhu, the ISKCON was at peak. There was news about ISKCON, people were really happy, although there were some demons who tried to stop the movement but they were unsuccessful during Srila Prabhupada's physical presence. Demon Kali's agents were there but they couldn't withstand before the pure devotees. But after his departure everything became so topsy-turvy, we see very rarely devotees preaching. Enthusiasm has decreased I guess. Hare Krishna 🙏🏽❤️ Radhe Radhe ❤️🙏🏽 Jai Srila Prabhupada ❤️🙏🏽 Jai Shree Krishna ❤️🙏🏽
Stefan Roberts 2 weeks ago@ziggyschumann5284if not yet please all watch short documentry on youtube by True Devotees called kill Guru become guru..it has all proof needed of Prabhupada being poisoned to death and that group then making themselves swamis to be praised as such while trying to hijack ISKCON and making changes to Books for their benefit..a small group did so i think led by tamal and radhanath is in it and jaya diviata made so many changes to Prabhupadas Books..extreme high level of cadmium poison i think in Prabhupadas hair from His hairclippers at time of death also verbal recording and video of them saying they were poisoning And Video Of Prabhupada Saying He Had been poisoned..short documentry with All Proof Needed..Thats What ISKCON Needs Defending from..that small group of fake swamis and of gbc..horrible to think of But Fact..
