About His Grace Aindra Prabhu
H.G. Aindra Prabhu received harinama-diksa in 1973 from A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Washington D.C. For many years, he was serving as a pujari at the temple and was regularly going out on harinama-sankirtana and book distribution in that area. After several visits to Sri Vrindavan dhama, he then got the inspiration within his heart to re-inaugurate the 24hour-kirtana which had originally been established by Srila Prabhupada in 1975 at the Krishna-Balarama Mandir.
In 1986, Aindra Prabhu came to settle down in Vrindavan dhama and has been co-ordinating and guiding this 24 hour-kirtana since! Not only is he inspiring the local devotees and numerous visitors with his daily kirtanas, but his wonderful recordings spread the mellow of Sri Vrindavan dhama all over the planet.
Today also happens to be disappearance day of Sri Vakresvara Pandita, the great dancer during the time of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
And this from Nrsingha das:
The best, most honest and straight-forward preacher and disciple of Srila Prabhupada. May his vision for the grassroots kirtan revolution be fufilled, as it surely will be.
Here is his wonderful appeal on Srila Prabhupada's disappearence day:
