Śrīla Prabhupāda Disappearance

Śrīla Prabhupāda started a spiritual revolution wherein devotion, simplicity and compassion became the direction for living. Devotees come together to express their feelings of love and devotion to Srilā Prabhupāda on this auspicious day.

In this great ocean of material existence, everyone is struggling very hard and a rare few fortunate souls get reclaimed by a real Ācārya, who descends into this world by the order of the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa for the very same purpose. Such great souls have the power to reclaim the entire universe but the majority of the population, who are poor and unfortunate, who are only after paltry sense gratification, are blinded by their own foolishness and, therefore, are unable to recognize such great souls, what to speak of taking shelter of them? But those who have taken shelter of such great souls realize that they owe an eternal debt to their spiritual master for saving them from the otherwise unending cycle of birth and death in this material world. The best recourse for them is to constantly glorify such a great soul, remember his valuable instructions, and dedicate their life for preaching the message of Kṛṣṇa that he preached.

Śrīla Prabhupāda’s appearance was predicted by Lord Caitanya, who stated that His commander-in-chief devotee (senāpati bhakta) would appear in the future to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness worldwide. In the last ten years of his life, in spite of his advanced age, Śrīla Prabhupāda circled the globe twelve times on lecture tours that have taken him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Śrīla Prabhupāda continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture. Highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, and clarity, his books are used at colleges and universities around the world.

A Few of the Grand Achievements of Śrīla Prabhupāda

• Started 108 Kṛṣṇa temples on 6 continents
• Wrote over 150 books on Kṛṣṇa consciousness and over 7,000 personal letters to his disciples
• Circled the globe 14 times to preach in 24 countries
• Initiated over 5,000 disciples, still initiating thousands and will initiate millions in the future
• His books, translated into almost 100 languages, are still enlightening millions. They will continue to do so for the next 10,000 years.

“Unless empowered by Kṛṣṇa, one cannot propagate the saṅkīrtana movement”

(Caitanya-caritāmṛta Antya-līlā 7.11)

a great fortune that we can come in contact with the glorious Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement under the shelter of such a great ambassador of Vaikuṇṭha (the kingdom of God) through his books and temples. He made the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra a household name and built a house in which the whole world can live peacefully.
