Srila Prabhupada's Tirobhava Mahotsava

Date

On 26th of October, devotees at Govindaji Gardens commemorated the disappearance of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

At 8:30 Srila Visnu Maharaja spoke on the various preaching activities and contributions of Srila Prabhupada.

Later in the morning, Srila Narasingha Maharaja led the devotees in singing 'Srila Prabhupada-lila Smarana-mangala Stotram' and spoke in length on some of the verses. In particular he explained about Srila Prabhupada's intimate relationship with Sri Krsna which is exemplified in his poem 'Markine Bhagavata-dharma' which he composed on the Jaladuta when he embarked on his preaching campaign.

Guru-puja and puspanjali were offered to Srila Prabhupada, and devotees honored maha-prasadam.
