Gift Prabhupada to Every One of His Disciples

Srila Prabhupada loved and cherished each of his disciples, «my dear sons and daughters», as assistants in his service to his own spiritual master.

Our generation of ISKCON followers owes everything to Srila Prabhupada’s disciples. Just as in Srila Prabhupada’s books and classes, we also meet Srila Prabhupada in his disciples’ lifelong dedication to his service, in their fidelity to his teachings, and in their love for him.

The Gift Prabhupada Project:

As an attempt to repay our debt to them, the Gift Prabhupada project presents each and every contactable disciple of Srila Prabhupada — whoever and wherever they are — with a unique brass murti of Srila Prabhupada:

• meticulously crafted and highly detailed;

• alloyed with sankirtana coins collected in all 25 countries visited by Srila Prabhupada between 1965 and 1977;

• seated beneath the jackfruit tree at Srila Prabhupada’s birth site made with its actual wood;

• travel-friendly at just 54mm in height;

• complete with a custom-designed, foldable box/altar with gold-embossed details;

• names spelled according to Srila Prabhupada’s initiation book; and

• graced with Srila Prabhupada’s written assurance of reclaiming his disciples to Goloka Vrindavana.

Achievments

On November 5 2024, Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance day, over 400 of his disciple worldwide received these gifts. Many expressed that these murtis of Srila Prabhupada were the most precious gifts they had ever received, thanking Srila Prabhupada for yet another return into their lives and hearts. (See videos) Many also asked that these gifts be also given to their other Godsiblings as well. An estimated 2,000 of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples are yet to receive Srila Prabhupada in this murti form.

Your Support Makes a Difference:

As a completely non-commercial initiative, the Gift Prabhupada project relies on your participation in serving Srila Prabhupada’s disciples while they are still with us. At a manufacturing cost of US$65 per gift, no contribution is too small (or too big) in our efforts to help us bring Srila Prabhupada into the hands of each of his beloved disciples. Any surplus funds will be dedicated to developing Srila Prabhupada’s birth site in Kolkata.

“The murti of the Spiritual Master should be treated as good as the Deity”. — Srila Prabhupada, letter to Karandhara, 29 January 1976
