About Srila Prabhupada

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, known to his early followers as “Swamiji” and later as “Śrīla Prabhupāda,” was born in Calcutta, India, on September 1, 1896. He was given the name Abhay Caran by his father, which means “one who is fearless, having taken shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord.” It was prophesied by a qualified astrologer at that time that he would eventually cross the ocean and open 108 temples in honor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. Śrīla Prabhupāda was born with a mission, and every step of his life was in preparation to fulfill it.

About Govinda Dasi

In November 1966, Govinda dasi was in her senior year as an art student at the University of Texas at Austin when she and her soon-to-be husband went to San Francisco in search of a spiritual teacher. In January 1967, they met His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, in a newly opened storefront temple in the Haight-Ashbury district. They immediately recognized in him a towering intellect, a purity of purpose, and a sweetness of demeanor that was impossible to resist. Govinda dasi recalls feeling that “This was the center of the universe. We had come home.” They soon became initiated disciples and were married by the Swami.
