Swamiji (Album 49 photos)

Indradyumna Swami: Last night Brahmananda Dasa launched a new book "Swamiji" wherein Steven J. Rosen ( Satyaraja dasa ) recounts Brahmananda prabhu's service and association with Srila Prabhupada in the early years of the Hare Krishna Movement. While reading and commenting on the book, published by Torchlight Publishing, Inc. Brahmananda prabhu gave rare and valuable insights into the life of Srila Prabhupada in those formative years. Recounting his spiritual masters glories he was several times moved to tears, as was the audience. There were a number of senior Prabhupada disciples present. I considered the evening one of the highlights of my visit to Vrindavan this Kartika. I am forever indebted to Brahmananda prabhu for he, along with his brother Gargamuni dasa and Visnujana Swami, stayed with me in my apartment in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1971 and influenced me to become a devotee.
