Dear Friends
Farewell & Welcome
We said goodbye to His Grace Kshudi Das, we are grateful for his practical wisdom and contribution to ISKCON in South Africa. We welcome His Grace Sundarananda Das and Her Grace Prema Manjari Devi Dasi, who are disciples of His Holiness Gour Govinda Swami. They are from Indonesia and have pioneered the preaching there by establishing temples, nama-hattas, helped legally register ISKCON in Indonesia, taught various Bhakti sastra courses and so much more. Sundarananda Prabhu has recently become an ISKCON diksa-guru.

His Grace Agnideva Das (ACBSP) Visits
17-24 February
Agnideva Dasa met the devotees in New York and received initiation from Srila Prabhupada. His study of the Vedic philosophy led him to discover the devotional music of West Bengal, India. In 1972, he began publicly performing bhajan and kirtan in the traditional Bengali style. He is renowned as an expert devotional singer in ISKCON worldwide. He served as the Temple President of ISKCON Laguna Beach for several years and successfully ran his own restaurants. Agnideva Prabhu is now retired and dedicates his time to Srila Prabhupada’s mission.
