Hare Krishna...
Just recently, we've got sad news that great performer of sankirtana-yajna in Vrindavana, Krsna Balarama Mandir - Aindra Prabhu disappeared from our sight... Most probably he left to spiritual world, as he was always engaged in great kirtans in Vrindavan. He got to know about ISKCON back in 60es(70es), left all his material engagements and dedicated his life to service to His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada... So he is said to be one of key figures to do 24-hour kirtan in Vrindavan... Actually he is most famous due to his 24 hours kirtans in Vrindavan... When one thinks or talk about Vrindavan, ISKCON Krishna Balarama-mandir and 24-hour kirtans there, it is highest chance that he would remember about Aindra Prabhu... The Official Website of the Krsna Balaram Mandir 24 Hr. Kirtan Mandali is www.24hourkirtan.com... Everyone can go there and download many of his kirtanas, and also some lectures which are also recorded and available online... One can also support thus Krishna B alarama mandir - either materially - by donation - or at least by personally taking part in this Krishna consciousness movement... It is said that person, jiva-atma, individual soul is here in material world for so many lifetimes... A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said: we left Vaikuntha many millions of years ago... But as well we know that souls are coming from brahmajyoti and/or tatastha shakti.. In any case - they are subordinate spiritual souls - to Supreme Soul, Bhagavan Krishna... So some souls are here in material world, but majority are there in spiritual world... There was one great lecture by Aindra Prabhu about exactly this science of soul. Aindra Prabhu said: "Do not waste your time! We are here in minority, in material world. But majority of souls are in spiritual world. So in this Kali-Yuga process of attaining Krsna-bhakti is chanting His holy names - personally and congregationally, silently and aloud. Aloud is usually better, but both are well. When they, holy names (Hari Nama, names of Hari, Vishnu, Narayana, Krishna) are chanted aloud - others also benefit, not only person who are are chanting him/herself... So, this is process of sacrifice for this age... One can attain Krishna bhakti through chanting names of Krishna. This is to be for whole next 427000 years which are still to come in this KaliYuga. So this is very important for everyone to engage in this sankirtana-yajna and go to spiritual world in this life. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada didn't joke. He said - we should be serious enough to go back to spiritual world in this very life." So, Aindra Prabhu showed everyone a great example - what does it mean to chant holy names all the time. Prabhupada, his spiritual master said - chant names of Krishna always. This is message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krishna in mood of His devotee: harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha! What this means? In this Kali Yuga we do not live for 100-000 years. Even if we live upto 100 years - that is considered good luck. So we cannot meditate for 50 thousands years on Supersoul, Paramatma in everyone's heart just near soul in same heart... We can know that those God in heart, Vishnu is next realized as Bhagavan, Krishna... So we cannot meditate for thousands of years like yogis who meditated on Supersoul in Satya-Yuga ('Golden age' roughly saying) and then attained Vaikuntha, spiritual eternal world... But we have now a great opportunity to go even higher than Vaikuntha planets. Krishna's transcendental qualities are analized to be 4 more than those of Narayana on Vaikuntha planets... So even if one is Vaisnava and wants to go to Vaikuntha and meditates on four-handed Vishnu, Narayana, he can greatly benefit from this Krsna consciousness movement, and in fact go to spiritual world, Vaikuntha, even faster - by mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu... In any case, noone can imagine India without Krishna. Usually Vaisnavas say: Krishna is avatara of Vishnu. But Gaudiya Vaisnavas say: yes, but that Ksirodakasayi-Visnu through whom Krishna comes to material world and other avataras as well - is just an expansion of Garbhodakasayi-Vishnu who is expansion of Mahavishnu, which expanded from Narayana. This Vishnu or Narayana on Vaikuntha planets is Narayana which is expanded Himself from Balarama (Baladeva) and finally, Balarama - from Krishna. And we can also keep in mind that Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna Himself, and Nityananda is Balarama (Rama). So, Aindra Prabhu was a great preacher of Krsna consciosuness - though he always resided in Vrindavana, everyone benefitted and still can do that - by listening to his great kirtanas! ... Unfortunately, he left this our material vision (still material, because we are still in material world) due to accident... Well, one can read about detail on ISKCON site: [1]
So, we are sure Aindra is in association of devotees... Those who ay that "vaisnavas die" do not know truth: vaisnavas can never die! Krsna assures Arjuna: "My devotee never perish". Tell this to everyone.
Now one can find many news about Aindra - text/audio and/or video/photo, and as well find his grace Aindra Prabhu's many materials. Aindra also given classes on playing sankirtana. Actually we know that Aindra has a very special style of playing kirtanas as well as bhajanas, and that attracted many so that they also learned from him.
...
This /revolution/ means that chanting holy names are to be in every town and every village. As this is wish of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu - to deliver most fallen sinners of this age who are eternally conditioned here in this material world for so many lifetimes in different material bodies of their number of 8400000 on all 14 planetary systems... Sometimes jivaatma soul even becomes Brahma. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said - there are many material universes, and so many Brahmas as well. We know that Brahma and Shiva has 55 transcendental qualities, soul, jivaatma has 55; but Narayana has 60 and Krishna has all 64 in full... So jivaatma comes from spiritual energy and becomes brahma, then goes into some other forms of life - he may become demigod, someone on other planet - sometimes bird, fish, animal, plant. Other time he even goes to hell. So it is said that we already have been in all those forms of life... So we are all very fortunate to come to this Krishna consciousness after so many lifetimes... So one should be very serious - not again to degrade into some animal, plant etc... That is biggest fear - if one doesn't take advantage of Krsna consciousness - he cannot be delivered in so many lifetimes, millions of kalpas. So we have this material dust in our hearts for so many lifetimes, 50 years of Brahma passed, but now we shouldn't go this cycle of birth and death again. We are spiritual souls, and shouldn't remain in material world - it is wrong to die, have old age, disease and reincarnation, rebirth again. So this chanting of Holy Names of Krishna is the real solution for souls of our age. Neither karma, nor jnana or yoga an help. Only bhakti is the way to go to spiritual world, especially for this age. So, this is very rare - after many many lifetimes, someone may become religious. And also among them some may accept Vedas and follow karma-kanda. But only not so many of them are true jnanis who know Vedanta... Natural comment on Vedanta is Srimad-Bhagavatam - so this points not to karma, not to jnana, and not even to yoga but to bhakti, devotional service. Chaitanya Charitamrita is even more sacred... So Vedas say: Krishna comes to Kali-Yuga as Krishna-Caitanya. He discovered Brahma-samhita in which Brahma, who is in one of four vaisnava bona-fide disciplic succesions, confirms: "isvarah paramah Krishnah sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah anadir adir Govindah sarva-karana-karanam": Krishna who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes. So Brahma, secondary creator of this whole material universe confirm: Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead. So this knowledge was brought by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu - he discovered Brahma-Samhita when he was travelling India... And we can also read: [8] - "Sri Caitanya is that same Krsna, svayam bhagavan." So we take that Krishna IS Supreme Godhead, not even Narayana. This is stressed by word 'TU': "Krishnas tu bhagavan svayam (SB 1.3.28)" this is emphasize to point that exactly Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead. So still more confident is appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Real Krishna consciousness movement, vaisnavism is that one which do not take into consideration birth of one. So Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura was facing contrarguements of caste brahmanas (vaisnavas) who were called thus only by birth, but not by qualification. But this is proof of authenticity of Krishna consciousness and that Sri Caitanya is Krishna Himself: jivaatma, soul is in some body - either human or animal or demigod - that is same soul. And similarly, in human material body - that is same soul - so how can we say that one caste brahmana is better if he is born in that brahmana caste but do not follow Vedas and doesn't have brahminical/vaisnava qualification? A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is considered a shaktyavesha-avatara, and he is accepted as one of greatest vaisnava of 20th century in Gaudiya-vaisnava disciplic succession... So he made so many unqualified lowborn westerners - to become vaisnavas. Vaisnava is already brahmana, but not every brahmana is vaishnava. So preaching is a great confirmation: Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is bona-fide Krishna Himslef. Who could have make Kazi, who was demon Kamsa previously to become devotee as well? And who could else make demons as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu, who are also are Jaya and Vijaya (also Ravana, right?) - to become Jagai and Madhai and be delivered? So this is our position - highest Krishna consciousness conception - for lowest people of this Kali-Yuga... Krishna killed many demons, but now he appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and His weapons are shastras - perfect logic and knowledge of scriptures, and HariNama - holy name of Hari, Krishna. So everyone is invited to go to Vrindavana - both on this Earth and in spiritual world. Aindra Prabhu is a great vaisnava. We can conclude he attained spiritual world: Krishna says: one who worships Krishna - comes to Him. Aindra always resided in Vrindavana. Now he is supposed to go to spiritual Vrindavana - Goloka Vrindavana, abode of Krishna. One cannot come to Krishna jumping over Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees. So we appreaciate that Aindra is greatest kirtan leader. We can hardly guess who would continue 24-hour kirtanas as Aindra did... We would miss him much.
Hare Krishna...

All glories to his Devine Grace Srila Prabhupad!
All glories to the devotees in the line of association!

Oh, Aindra Prabhu please except my humble obeisance's to you repeatedly.

Your dedication to Kirtan and its importance to Krishna consciousness lifted peoples spirits and gave them the spiritual stregth they needed to carry on with their spiritual lives we thank you for sharing this knowledge with us. Your beautiful melodic voice, which captivated everyone's hearts and helped him or her to forget his or her mundane problems in this world again we thank you for sharing this with us fallen souls.
You have left behind a great legacy through the inspirations you imparted on us all these will live on through your music CD's and your subtle energy through the fond memories we will share with others.
You were a true holy man doing unalloyed good service for Sri Krishna, guru and associates also anyone who came within range of your creative presents and voice.
My mind always harks back to the time I was in Vrindavan and through Sri Krishna; the atmosphere you created with your kirtans was truly spectacular my heart and mind will always treasure those wonderful moments.
With great sincerity, your singing always came from the heart and soul, the devotees could really feel you calling out to Krishna, and you in turn helped them to call out in the proper mood. Whenever you sang, it was as if Sri Krishna was giving us reciprocation of pleasure (alternating insulin of love) through you. We will never forget your beautiful smile and the spiritual energy you transmitted to everyone.
We know in between your service to Sri Krishna you will be flying in one of those beautiful vimanas from spiritual worlds to spiritual worlds (first class of course because you are always of the highest calibre) so please say hi to everyone in the spiritual worlds from us all down here on the earth planet.

I shocked at all when I got the news regarding Aindra's Prabhu's has passsed away for Goloka!

Wherever I came to vrindavan I crazy to listen his kirtan!
He has composed many tunes of Harekrishna mantra!
From child to Old person every one was dancing during his kirtan!
Now It has become only dream!
May lord krishna may make him as eternal associates in Goloka Vrindavan!
Hare krishna!
Jay Jay Shree Radhey!

Dear Aindra prabhu,

So sad we are to hear you have left our world...but at the same time happy that you are most certainly in a wonderful realm bringing more souls closer to Sri Krishna through His Holy Names in continuance of your glorious service to our beloved Gurudev Srila Prabhupada. I was most fortunate to see you in February in Vrindavan and sit with you in kirtan. Your kirtan and kind smile gave me great happiness during those precious moments in front of our Lords Krishna Balaram. We spoke at length in those few days...more than ever before. As usual I did not take full advantage of your association and I deeply regret that. Please forgive my many shortcomings.

The departure of every great Vaishnava reveals many lessons.

You have deepened our realization that we have to take advantage of every moment of association with advanced Vaishnavas—appreciate them, serve them, learn from them. With great feeling relish the Holy Names every time we chant. Whatever service we have, do it with 100% determination, enthusiasm and patience. Live simply, preach vigorously and depend on the Holy Name. The list goes on. I only pray that the profound lessons you have taught by your strong example remain deep within my heart so that this insignificant beggar may once again join in your kirtan.

With deep affection and love,
your servant,
Yadubara das

"GolaKera Prema Dhana, Hari Nama Snakirtana ..."

Anidra Prabhu .. Srila Prabhupada and Krishna Balaram know how much Prem Dhan you have distributed and shared the nectar of transcendental mellows to the entire world through your transcendental Hari Nama Kirtan. You are very special and dearer to Krishna and he wanted you urgently and took an emergency step of take you nearer to him.
We all Prithvi Basi will miss your melodious kirtan dipped with the mellows of nectar, Bhava, Raaga, prema , karuna and everything a devotee need to take the bath in spiritual ocean. Your voice has the transcendental power to take devotees to the level of ecstasy to get the glance and feel of Radha Krishna Prema.
Your melodious kirtan is always a point of attraction for all devotees and attracts people to the Dham like scented flower attracts a bee.
We do not understand the spiritual motive of Lord taking away devotee away from us but for sure we all shall miss you.

Hare Krishna and Happy Staying at Golak with Lord and Radharani.

Please accept my respective Obeisance.

I have never seen the funeral pyre before and saw for first time watching "Aindra's Last Darshan" on You Tube. Hare Krsna! The greatest mystery is every living entity must pass yet we delude ourselves that it couldn't possibly happen to us, that somehow we will have the presence of mind to be Krsna Conscious when our time comes in spite of all the nonsense we do. All Glories to the Assembled Devotees. All Glories to Sriman Aindra Prabhu who reminds us that by being always Krsna Conscious there is no fear in death.

Sri Sri Guru Gauranga jayatah.
Sri Harinama Sankirtan ki jaya.
Sri Aindra Prabhu,the great kirtaniya ki jaya.

Dear Prabhu,
To me you were the face and the sound of Sri Vrindavana and Sri Sri Krsna Balaram Mandir.

The Lord looked and saw yet another beautiful flower. This time the flower was called Aindra Prabhu. And He picked it too.

Aindra Prabhu, your sweet chanting will always be in my mind.
I beg for your mercy that some day I may have some of the same taste for Harinama like you have.
My visits to Vrindavana will not be the same anymore without your trancendental kirtan.

I wish all the devotees strenght to bear this great loss.

Hare Krsna.

One of my life's dream was to see Sripad Aindra Prabhu live in kirtana. I have been listening to his kirtana's always ever since I first acquired his c.d.'s. To me Sripad Aindra Prahu's kirtana's were the best I ever heard. I am extremely saddened that I will not see him but will contnue associating through his vani. Krsna needs Prabhus personal melodious singing also so He took him. All glories to Sripad Aindra Prabhu. Sri Harinama Sankirtana ki jaya.

Dear Aindra prabhu,

After hearing this pastime of your leaving Material world, I realise that you came to teach Hari nam Sankirtan. This immediate dissapearance is part of your lila. May be krsna want you to perform this Hari nam sankirtan sewa some where else. Whenever I hear your esctatic kirtan my hair stand on end. And I realise your love to Radha Krsna in holy name chanting. I always accept you as my kirtan guru. Please shower mercy on me so that I can continue to serve Radha and Krsna by chanting Hari nam sankirtan in your foot steps.

Your Servant,
Rasashrayahdas

i guess Prabhupada would have come and recieved Aindra prabhu to take him to Goloka Vrindavan. Hare Krishna.

Fear friend aidra prabhu. Hhow can i tolerate your abscence now? The world is sad! We cannot anymore hear your sweet songs. Very sad event. I remember your kind association , you always nice with me. You showed special care to me like an older brother. You purchased a very nice small gaura nitai deity to me from vrindavan. You told me these deities will help me in my preaching in the arab countries. How can i tolerate your abscence? The whole world is crying. I cannot hear your song anymore! What will be my futur now? The planet is missing you. The devotees of the whole world likes you. When i hear your sweet kirtan, you make me dance and joyful. and now what should i do to tolerate your abscence? Please continue to bestow your mercy on me. Thank you so much for everything you have done to help me in krsna consciousness.

Sri Krsna gave an opportunity to our family to take part in his kirtan in Vrindavan and now Sri Krsna wants him to perform his kirtan in Goloka Vrindavan.

A pure devotee can prove his love even at his death. This is an wonderful example for all Vaisnavas to practice Krsna Consciousness.

Hare Krsna

Dear Aindra Prabhu

Please accept my humble obeissances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga.

I've just learnt about your leaving and the way you left in a serene way, while in the midst of trouble, offering your humble obeissances to Sri-Sri Gaura-Nitai...

What a teaching and an example to us all...!

You are an eternal associate of the two divine brothers and certainly Sri-Sri Radha-Krishna were eager to have you sing bhajans for them in Goloka Vrindavana, after having been a great source of joy to Them in Gokula...

At a personal level, I can only feel blessed to have had your close association at some point in my life... I still cherish the intimacy of our conversations in your room and of course, like every single devotee who has been graced by your bhajans,
we aspire to have your seemless chanting echoe for ever in our hearts...

You displayed not only an unfliching dedication to Nama seva, the service of the holy name, but also seemed to liberate everyone around you from whatever material hindrance might have been in their minds and hearts which could have prevented one from freely bathing in the sweet nectar of the holy name...

Come and join the congregation in the chanting of the holy name, was your daily invitation... and I am sure you are not ever going to give up this seva...

As B.B. Govinda Maharaja expressed it in his beautiful offering, we only aspire to join you again some day in Sri-Sri Gour-Nitai's kirtan... and assist you in your service at the lotus feet of Sri-Sri Radha-Shyamasundara...

What a great loss this world has suffered! Our dear Godbrother Aindra Prabhu, the great kirtaniya, has suddenly left and gone back home to be with our Lord. All morning today I was sad, but then I had a happy thought, "Krsna, You have the pleasure of his association now!" Our Lord Sri Krsna was so kind to bless us for a few years with the pleasure of Aindra Prabhu's association. He whose delicious kirtans forced us to taste the sweetness of the Lord's holy names has now gone back home to sing in Lord Gauranga's eternal kirtans! Krsna was so kind to let him stay in our midst for as long as He did, and now, Krsna has taken him for Himself. All glories to His Grace Aindra Prabhu, humble servant of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and beloved friend of all the Vaisnavas!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It was a very sad day for me when I heard of the news of your passing away.
You were one of the greatest devotees who wanted to continue the mission of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, spreading the holy names of Sri Krsna.I remember the day I was playing mrdanga during guru-puja in Vrindavan, you came to me and told me that Once you finish the Gurukul you will join the 24h kirtan and we can together stay for the rest of our lives in Vrindavan chanting the Holy names of the Lord. Those days were just the beggining of the 24h kirtan departement and I still remeber how tough it was to make it succesfull with just a few devotees available for this service. But you were so determined for this mission to succeed that you would stay long hours chanting in order to accompliosh this mission and give the people opportunity to associate with the Holy Name constantly.
I am now far away from Vrindavan and therefore humbly ask you that please kindly ask Lord Caitanya to allow me to join you in your next 24h kirtan mission whereever that may be.

Your humble servant and friend

All Glories to Aindra Prabhu,

Prabhu, I wish I could have touched your lotus feet. I have been hearing Hare Krishna from your lotus mouth continuously, and It is almost impossible to believe you are have left this material world in such a surprising way.
Only Krishna knows his plans,
May you keep aspiring us and all generations to come by your bhajans which ae so dear to Shyam Sundr, and you know what, Krishna wants to hear in Goloka Vrindavan, thats why he pulled you back.

Hey Krishna I cannot understand your planning, I cannot understand anything with this tiny brain. But, I would request you to give more Aindra Prabhu in generations to come.

May Krishna’s holy name, which is a reservoir of all transcendental happiness, the destroyer of Kali-yuga’s sins, the most purifying of all purifying things, the saintly person’s food as he traverses the path to the spiritual world, the pleasure-garden where the voices of the greatest saints, philosophers, and poets play, the life of the righteous, and the seed of the tree of religion, bring transcendental auspiciousness to you all.

Sri Rupa Goswami, Padyavali, 19

This was a favorite verse of Srila Akinchanna Krsna dasa Babaji Maharaja, which he always sang in his mangalacarana before chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.

I thought of this verse today while thinking about you. Yes, Aindra Prabhu, I was thinking about you all day long.

The verse glorifies the name of God, and blesses us all with transcendental auspiciousness, the awakening of pure devotional service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.

In a sense, this verse was the “mission statement” of a dedicated and selfless kirtaneer of your stature.

1. You gave your life in “dedication with conviction” for sharing the ocean of transcendental happiness of Sri Krishna nama sankirtan with countless souls suffering the miseries of material existence;

2. You dedicated your life to present the “Only and Final” solution for ending the sins and tribulations of Kali Yuga through the performance of Sri Krishna Nama Sankirtan;

3. You humbly and mercifully cried out with a bleeding heart to humanity to purify their existence through accepting the association of Sri Krishna through the performance of Sri Krishna Nama Sankirtan;

4. You were always the chief servers of the luscious feast of Sri Krishna Nama Sankirtan to all of the pilgrims on the path back to Goloka Vrindavan;

5. In your kirtans you were the tour guide to the transcendental pleasure gardens where the faithful can rest while hearing the sweetest voices of the greatest saints extol the glories of Sri Krishna Nama Sankirtana and the exquisite glories of Krishna Bhakti;

6. By liberally bestowing the holy name you presented the real, eternal existence in the lives of the righteous and saintly vaisnava devotees of God;

7. And as a humble gardener you planted the seed of the tree of religion deep within the hearts of millions of people throughout the world, while sitting in front of the deities in Vrindavan;

8. And by showing the true life of humble servant of Sri Krishna’s holy names, you evoked eternal auspiciousness for humanity.

Aindra, Kali Yuga is dark and becomes darker day by day. Krishna Nama is the brilliantly blazing torch in the darkness of the Kali night. You, My dear godbrother, have been one of the great torch bearing sons of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, our Guru Paramapara, and Sri Caitanyadev and His associates.

Aindra, I bow down to you praying for your unconditional vaisnava grace. Please bless me that one day I may chant the holy names of Sri Krishna with a pure heart, with the smallest fraction of the love and single minded dedication which you have always shown us.

My brother, all glories to you. You have gone to Radhe Shyam. You have gone to Srila Prabhupada. Please tell them I wish to come as well … but it will take me much more time to have the correct heart situation to finally go.

We are feeling sorry you are not here, and we are feeling joy at your success. Well done, well commenced, well executed Aindra. You focused only harinama, Thakurji seva, Bhagavat. You have made the grade and we already miss you.

If by chance there is internet up there, or even post card, please stay in touch, because we all love you, and miss you, and direly need your support to reach there.

Please say little prayers, on our behalf to the young important citizens there. Please pull the strings and get us there too!!

Aindra, till our next meeting,

May the love, peace and grace of Sri Krishna sankirtan bathe your precious soul.

Daso’smi,

BB Govinda Swami

Update

He was alone in his room worshiping His beloved Deities when apparently there was a gas leak from his cylinder. Some devotees heard a sound and there was some smell, but no one knew from where it came. Devotees knocked on Aindra’s door, but there was no response all night. His door is very thick, and there is one trap door in it. In the morning when Aindra prabhu didn’t come to the temple to dress Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara, the devotees then could understand that something serious had happened. With difficulty they broke open the trap door, and only one devotee, Adi Kesava Das, was small enough to enter the room. When he entered he saw that the entire room was black and there was in disturbance everywhere. It appeared that Aindra might have lit a match in the room and that caused the gas in the air to ignite and burn the room. Aindra was behind the altar. It looked as if he had tried to open the window, but was unsuccessful, so he offered his obeisances behind Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, and left his body in that position. When Adi Kesava found him, Aindra was already long gone, and his body was still offering obeisances.

PAMHO AGTSP

I'm devastated .

I was thinking Oh Krsna what have you done by taking Aindra Prabhu away? But then i thought....thankyou Krsna for sending Aindra Prabhu, and giving us his association and also giving us the understanding of how to serve you through Nama Sankirtan with such devotion.
