Abhay Charan
"I remember looking at a book on the greatest personalities of this century. To my great disappointment I found Srila Prabhupada’s name missing. Although Srila Prabhupada is the greatest personality of this age, how many people know him as such? Very few people give him the recognition he deserves. So I felt I should do something to make Srila Prabhupada known worldwide. Because audio-visual media are the most effective, most prominent media today, I thought the best way to do it would be to present a film of Srila Prabhupada’s life and his contribution to the world.
At first I thought of making a film, but when I discussed the idea with the movie star Hema Malini, she suggested I make a TV serial instead, so I could properly convey Srila Prabhupada’s life and achievements in greater detail, over a longer period of time.
Krishna wants His pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada, to be glorified. It is only by Krishna’s mercy that I have been able to do whatever has been done. It is He who made all the arrangements for this project to become a reality”
– HH Bhakti Charu Swami
This serial is a brief biography of one of the most prominent personalities of 20th century who changed the course of history, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, the founder Acharya of International society for Krishna Consciousness and a guru in the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Parampara. He has dedicated his life for preaching the science of God realization through Bhakti yoga based on the scriptures like Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad Bhagavata Purana and teachings of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who is a devotee incarnation of the Lord Sri Krishna in this age of Kali. The biography includes his achievements which no one has achieved before, by preaching the greatest science of God realization to the Western world under the instruction of his Spiritual master Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, at the time when there was a huge hike of hippie movement in the USA, at the age of 70 years. It is an inspiring life history of a pure devotee who dispelled the notion that religion is not just a faith but a science which explains everything in and out of the world and shows the right path for the humankind how to live, how to serve and how to love.
