H.H. Indradyumna Swami yesterday’s talks about Srila Prabhupada at Commonwealth Pier, Boston (video)
For us, Iskcon devotees, this is a sacred tirtha.
Srila Prabhupada first set foot in the West fifty-two years ago, after a 35-day journey from Calcutta. Steamship Jaladuta reached Boston’s Commonwealth Pier at 5:30 am on September 17, 1965. He reached Boston’s Commonwealth Pier in hopes of fulfilling the order of his spiritual master. It was here in Boston that he wrote “Markine Bhagavata Dharma” - “Teaching Krishna Consciousness in America”. Being a pure devotee of Sri Krishna, Srila Prabhupada prayed, “I wish that You may deliver them. Therefore, if You desire their deliverance, only then will they be able to understand Your message.”
