AN OFFERING OF THE HEART<\/strong> by Radhanath Swami<\/p>\n As the effulgent sun of Sri Aindra Prabhu\u2019s divine personality has risen in the spiritual world of Goloka Vrindaban, the sun of his physical presence has set in Gokula, the Vrindaban of this world. And we cry in separation.<\/p>\n The glorious life of Aindra Prabhu personifies determination and devotion, all aimed exclusively for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara. His heart floods like the Yamuna while being inundated by the monsoon of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s Divine Grace. His love for Vrindaban is the life of his soul.<\/p>\n Aindra Prabhu was infinitely beyond being a musician. He passionately renounced all of the charms of the material world to exclusively dedicate his heart and soul to chanting the Holy Names of God. Day and night his entire being was engrossed in the names of Radha Shyamasundara.\u00a0 He breathed for kirtan. His heart beat for kirtan. Lord Chaitanya empowered his kirtan with an inconceivable sweetness, power and musical skill that attracted our hearts like no other. While singing kirtan Aindra Prabhu\u2019s emotions would erupt like a volcano of devotion that inundated and mesmerized our hearts.<\/p>\n I believe every stone, brick and pillar of Krishna Balaram Temple and every tree and particle of sacred dust in Raman Reti is permeated with the sound vibration of Aindra Prabhu\u2019s devotion. If we open our hearts we will hear. Aindra Prabhu exported the sweetness of Vrindaban\u2019s love throughout the world and we are forever grateful.<\/p>\n As thousands of devotees cry upon the realization of his physical loss, I feel at a loss for words. Aindra Prabhu was so dear a friend and Godbrother to me. The kindness, love and encouragement that he always showered upon me are a treasure that I pray to remember forever.<\/p>\n Aindra Prabhu, your beloved Lordships, Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara have now brought you into Their eternal pastimes. We celebrate your life with tears of gratitude.<\/p>\n Related Posts:<\/strong> In Loving Memory of Aindra Das<\/a>, Kirtan Insights from Aindra Das<\/a>, Kirtan Podcast 2: Aindra Das<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \n I believe every stone, brick and pillar of Krishna Balaram Temple and every tree and particle of sacred dust in Raman Reti is permeated with the sound vibration of Aindra Prabhu\u2019s devotion.
