About Siddhanta Das
Siddhanta das first came in contact with Prabhupada’s teachings and ISKCON in 1970 when he worked as a film editor in Dallas, Texas. He was initiated as Prabhupada’s disciple in 1974 in Denver, Colorado and served there as a SKP leader, Bhakta leader, and University and High School lecturer. In 1978 he moved to Los Angeles, California and became the co-producer and editor for ISKCON Television producing such classics as “The Acharya” series, “The Ramayana,” “Krishna Puppet Shows,” and the notable documentaries “Coming Back-Reincarnation in America”, “Healthy, Wealthy & Wise” and “Cooking with Kurma”. For the last 31 years he has been going around the world collecting oral histories from Srila Prabhupada’s direct disciples about their time with His Divine Grace and the lessons they learned while in his association. This project is known as “Memories Anecdotes of a Modern-Day Saint as seen on eighty-seven videos totaling over 1,300 hours of Prabhupada nectar. These transcendental anecdotes have also now been transcribed into five 400 page books which are now being translated into Russian and Spanish.

Thank you Prabhu for encouraging us to listen properly and take notes, it was definitely a better exercise than merely listening.

my 3 favourites Sahadevi, Indradhyumna Maharaja and Locananada Srila Prabhupada is taking us home by reading his books, sacrificing for him and he will take our hand to introduce us to our beloved Lord How merciful is that !

Hare Krsna Prabhuji. I loved all of them. I loved Giruraj's tale about Crazy Peter, I can hear him say 'so you can't tolerate?'. SP's mercy was beautiful, he wanted to give us all his mercy and take us back home. He took Atma Tattva Das's father the same day, he promised Indradyumna that he would be there to take him home. His mercy that touched me most was about taking people home, and also about reading his books so they could go home like Sahadevi Dasi. Agndeva Das told of how happy he was to receive fallen people back into the fold so they could go home. Kindness and compassion are wonderful, but his true mercy is to take us back to Godhead. Haribol!
