Srila Prabhupada’s February 1966 letter reveals him as simultaneously humble and fearless, traditional and forward-thinking. Using the tools available to him — from the eternal scriptures of India to a portable real to real recorder — he carried forward the teachings of Lord Chaitanya into the heart of the modern world.
Even now, the sound of his kirtan, recorded alone in that small room, continues to awaken hearts across the world. His mission was not backed by wealth or institutional power, but by unwavering faith in Krishna and the holy name.
