INSPIRATION

Srila Prabhpada

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the Hare Krishna Movement, has been the inspiration and guiding light of Sri Chanchalapathi Dasa.

Sri Chanchalapathi Dasa came across the teachings of Srila Prabhupada while pursuing his studies at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science and became interested in his mission. As he gained a deeper understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s philosophy and ideals, he dedicated himself fully to the Krishna consciousness movement. Thus, he joined ISKCON Bangalore in 1984 and has been working tirelessly for the betterment of humanity since then.
