Dear Friends
Srila Prabhupada – Up Close & Personal
His Grace Sruta Kirti Das is visiting Durban until Thursday 23 January. Rukmini, who is currently serving Sruta Kirti Prabhu and his wife shares: “Having had the absolute blessing to be in his association for a week, I can say that the moment he speaks it feels as if Srila Prabhupada is personally manifesting from his words. The two and half years that he spent in Srila Prabhupada’s presence as his secretary, massaging and cooking for Srila Prabhupada is etched in his consciousness like a tatoo. And he embodies such compassion, non-judgement, and sweet loving disposition that it’s very hard to leave him. If you wonder what must have Srila Prabhupada have been like? Then take this opportunity to hear Sruta Kirti Prabhu. With caution, however, because it’s truly addictive!”
