@rudrapanditdas9431 Haribol Rudra Pandit prabhu. Obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Wow, that that's a strong name! May I ask where you are based now? The disciples of Srila Prabhupada are sadly disappearing fast. Are you still in Detroit?

I first came to Krsna Conciousness in 1985. Firstly at Soho Street where I had the darshan of Sri Sri Radha - London Isvara, Sri Sri Jagannath - Baladeva - Lady Subhadra. Then I visited Bhaktivedanta Manor in Watford and took darshan of Sri Sri Radha - Gokulananda, Sri Sri Sita - Rama - Laxman - Hanuman. I'd grown up in West London in a place called Southall. It's affectionately known as the 'little Punjab' being full of Indian migrants mainly of North Indian heritage. Mainly Sikhs, with a few Hindu's and even less Muslim's. I'd visited the Mandir's In Southall and as beautiful as the deities were in both Mandir's, nothing could rival the pujari service at both UK ISKCON temples. Absolutely stunningly beautiful. I had never seen such an amazingly kept temple for cleanliness and the prasadam and Maha blew my mind. I was a seeker and I said to myself "At last, I've found where I belong.

When I watched the autobiography about Srila Prabhupada and learned more about what he had achieved at such an advanced age. Opening so many temple, circumnavigating the globe twelve times, writing and translating so many books, corresponding with all his devotees in mainly hand written letters, and constantly on the move preaching, I was like wow, this person out of this world.

I've seen a few changes over the year's as I know you have, but beyond any negativity the beauty, the process and the philosophy haven't changed. I'm thankful that Krsna so kindly picked me up and placed in the association of His devotees.

Jaya Gauranga.

Radhe Radhe.

Jaya Prabhupada.

Ys Bhima dasa

Jaya Prabhupada 🙏🏼

All glories to the early pioneering devotees who had to endure the humility of wearing those wigs 😂
