theist Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Most were ones I had never seen before. I was also glad to see that one of Jayananda looking back at Srila Prabhupada as they passed. I believe that was the first time he saw his guru. Wonder what was going through his mind.

Airicky Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hare Krsna, Thank you for these rare and beautiful pictures of Srila Prabhupada! Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airicky Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 It would seem that if Prabhupada saw offense in these pictures then He would not have allowed the photographers to take them. Those were the days of big bulky cameras with blinding flashes so there was no hiding the fact the pics were being taken. These are all nectar for the weary eyes.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Many remind me of Hawaii before all the stuff, natural setting. Minus the heavy load of Acharya rup, they are very down to Earth and intimate. A good feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 These are very intimate photos. One of Srila Prabhupadas early care givers was Gaurasundara das, who is shown massaging Srila Prabhupada here. Srila Prabhupada taught the healing arts to many of his early disciples, how to care for an old man. If only some of these healing techniques were seriously considered later on, much would have been better. BTW, in the last months, Srila Prabhupada continually asked for Gaurasundara, who did come to take care of him for awhile. So, these are not too intimate, if one can understand that the guru-disciple relationship may advance beyond a mere awe and reverence" mode. We see here a sample of true friendship, and even paternal care, such as a devotee taking care of Gurus physical body as if it were his own child. I cherish these pictures, not just because of Srila Prabhupada, but for the joy he had in the association with his cherished disciples, like my old acquaintance and friend and preceptor, Gaurasundara das. hare krsna, ys, mahaksadasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 are there any sites with prabhupada photos with his disciples that have captions saying who the disciples are with the photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 So far I have not come across any site with pictures having captions on who are with Srila Prabhupada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonehearted Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 All the pix on the first two pages, and the first five on page 3, were taken in Hawaii in May 1972. There are also a couple of others on pages 4 and 5. These are very sweet pictures, and they remind me of those days, when I was actually young. He was here for 10 days, during which time he lectured at the University of Hawaii and at a famous venue, the Church of the Crossroads, and he installed the Panca-Tattva Deities and gave sannyasa to one of our Godbrothers.
