SRILA PRABHUPADA
Srila Prabhupada, or Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the founder-acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Acarya is mostly translated as founder.
He was born in 1896 in Kolkata (Calcutta), India. He met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakur Prabhupada, for the first time in Calcutta in 1922. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent scholar in Krishna consciousness and the founder of 64 Gaudiya Matha’s (vedic institutes), appreciated this well educated young man. During their first meeting, he requested Srila Prabhupada to spread vedic knowledge in English.
For more information about Srila Prabhupada, visit harekrishna.nl (in dutch).
FOOD FOR LIFE
Srila Prabhupada once said: “In the Hare Krsna movement the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the dancing in ecstasy and the eating of remnents of food to the Lord are very important. One may be illiterate or incapable of understanding the philosophy, but if he partakes of these three items, he will certainly be liberated without delay.”
To distribute free prasadam, the devotees of the Amsterdam Temple are going out once a month in the city centre. The next date planned for this event will be communicated later. There will also be kirtan, book distribution and possibility to talk with the devotees!
