>Srila Prabhupada: A Brief Biography > In the last ten years of his life, in spite of his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe twelve times on lecture tours that have took him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture.

>City of New York To Honour Srila Prabhupada > 34 years ago the worldwide Hare Krishna movement was inaugurated by Srila Prabhupada under a certain tree in Tompkins Square Park, New York City. There he led a public Kirtan that was to engulf the neighbourhood at the time, and then grow into a movement that was to make 'Hare Krishna' a household word.

>Matchless Gifts -- Hayagriva Dasa Remembers Srila Prabhupada > Like so many downtown New Yorkers, we had been reading books on Eastern philosophy and religion, burning lots of candles and incense and taking ganja, peyote and LSD as aids to meditation. Actually it was more intoxication than meditation; meditation was a euphemism that somehow connected our highs with our readings.

>If you ever get money--Print Books! > Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu desired this chanting of Hare Krishna and dancing in ecstasy be spread all over the world. He predicted one day the whole world will dance in ecstasy to this chanting of Hare Krishna. Until His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada left India for the United States in 1965 no one in India could imagine how the prediction of Lord Caitanya could come true.

>Who Is a Real Guru? > "Among the naïve, of course, one may pass for a spiritual master by wearing robes and a beard, bearing a twinkle in one's eye, performing some magic tricks, or speaking riddles. But intelligent people won't settle for these outer trappings"

>The Guru Is A Pure Devotee! > During Srila Prabhupada's physical presence there was no confusion in ISKCON over the qualifications and qualities of a bona fide guru. Srila Prabhupada was personally present and he exhibited all the qualities perfectly and all the devotees understood the spiritual master was a pure devotee.

>Srila Prabhupada's Back to Godhead Magazine > I have got the clue of going "Back to Godhead" just after leaving my present material body and in order to take along with me all my contemporary men and women of the world, I have started my paper "Back to Godhead" as one of the means to the way.
