Balaram Das

Prabhus, just to note the date 1974 on the video is correct, however the the one on this post, ie "Srila Prabhupada Leaves Melbourne 1975 -- 1080p HD" is in error! It was definitely the 1974 visit, because in 1975 Srila Prabhupada's visit & stay was in the new Radha Vallabha Mandir that he opened on 18th May 1975 and installed the beautiful Sri Sri Gaura Nitai Deities. Srila Prabhupada offered the Arotic ceremony to Gaura Nitai, while Dvaipayana prabhu & my lowly self had the mercy of offering to Radha Vallabha & Lord Jagannath Deities at same time with Srila Prabhupada. Afterwards, Srila Prabhupada asked me if we could always have 3 pujaris for the Arotics and when I said that might be difficult during the daytime when devotees were on Sankirtan, he said alright but definitely for mornings & evenings. Your servant, Balaram das🙏
