About the Speaker:
HG Deena Bandhu Prabhu:
In 1969 with a friend, he met the Hare Krishna devotees who were in Boulder, Colorado to start a Temple. He received the ancient Vedic literature named Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. As he was going through the pages, he realized that all questions that used to be in his heart were getting answered. Thus he first met his eternal spiritual master A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, who came to the United States to spread the Hare Krishna movement throughout the world through his literary work of Bhagavad-Gita. Finding the real happiness he was searching for, he decided to walk the path of devotional life and never return to college. The material knowledge was of no use for him when he got hold of real spiritual knowledge. He was the first devotee to join the Hare Krishna temple in Boulder, Colorado. Srila Prabhupada later initiated him and gave him the charming name of Deena Bandhu das, servant of the Lord who is the friend of the humble.
Later, he was sent to Dallas to help start an ISKCON Temple there. After some time, he served in various temples including Houston, San Antonio, LA, and Santa Barbara.
In September of 1972, he was appointed the Temple President in Portland, Oregon. In 1978, he went to Miami, Florida and served outside the temple there.
In 1980, he started preaching in Colombia, South America & he eventually became the Regional Secretary. Traveling around Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, he encouraged the preaching and opening of centers there.
In April of 1984, he served in the Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Mandir in Sridhama Vrindavan, India. He traveled and preached extensively with a preaching party in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan for two years. Then in April of 1986, he was appointed Temple President of Sri Krishna Balarama Mandir, serving for three years and three months.
More than three decades have passed and he has become a permanent Vrajavasi (resident of Sridhama Vrindavan) and he still continues to take pilgrims on parikrama. He inspires in all love of Sri Vraja, showing different holy places around Sridhama Vrindavan and narrating enchanting Pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krishna related to those places. He didn’t confine this love of Vraja to only Sridhama Vrindavan. He broke through all borders and boundaries to spread the love of Krishna and the message of Godhead. Deena Bandhu Prabhu travels the world spreading the glories of Sridhama Vrindavan. He is very famous for taking everyone to Sridhama Vrindavan through his fascinating presentations in his seminars. Wherever he goes, the devotees are enchanted by the delightful accounts of Krishna’s pastimes. He is famous for relating the enthralling histories of Sri Vraja all over the world.
In the year 1988, he took over the restoration project of a very sacred place in Sri Vraja called Vrinda Kunda near Nandagaon.
Among various other significant projects in Sridhama Vrindavan, Deena Bandhu Prabhu has helped in restoring the Samadhi Mandir of the great saint, Srila Sanatana Goswami. He has also been an active supporter to restore the sacred river Yamuna in Sridhama Vrindavan.
Whoever he comes across, he humbly invites them to come to Sridhama Vrindavan and have darshan of all the holy places. Sri Vrindavan Dham Ki Jay!
