Disappearance Day of His Divine Grace
Srila Prabhupada 10/25

Devotees gathered at the temple Wednesday evening to glorify the founder Acarya of ISKCON, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada departed from this world in 1977 from Vrndavana.
From 5:30-6:30 devotees had opportunity to share. We were fortunate to hear from direct disciples such as Drsta prabhu, Battu Gopal prabhu, Lokanatha prabhu, Apurva prabhu, my husband and Mother Sadhvi. I felt so fortunate to be there amoungst devotees hearing Srila Prabhupda's glories. Locana was initiated by Srila Prabhupada
in 1969. He is an artist & he made many of the murtis of Srila Prabhupada in our temples.
Srila Prabhupada gave us so much dedicating his life to spreading the holy names worldwide. He has left us so much, temples, Deities, and the many instructions in his many divine books.
After offerings were spoken, a feast that was cooked for Srila Prabhupada was offered to him.
Battu Gopal prabhu read the prayers for the pushpanjali (offering of flower petals) & Drsta prabhu then led the Guruastaka prayers kirtan while Mother Sadhvi offered arati.
