ShivaRam Swami Portrait Painting UttamaSlokaKrsnaDas

Born Peter Letai, to an upper-class Jewish family in Budapest in 1949, his family emigrated to Canada during the failed Hungarian revolution. Despite attaining an Engineering degree with colourful prospects of a successful career, providence changed when he came in touch with the five thousand year old text, Bhagavad-Gita As it is, an ancient manual enlisting practical answers to the universal questions of life. In 1973, Sivarama Swami found and accepted his guru A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Committing himself to the basic practises of the Bhagavad-Gita, Sivarama Swami renounced his former material ambitions with a dedicated venture for conscious living. It was in 1979 that Sivarama Swami officiated his decision of becoming a renunciate and accepted the name Sivarama Swami, now a travelling monk with no personal motivation other than to aid his guru’s mission to see the world a better place.

Sivarama Swami has had a colourful life taking him through all continents of the world with particular responsibilities for managing projects in the U.K., Hungary, Turkey & Romania. Today Sivarama Swami travels regularly between the East and West, inspiring thousands in their spiritual practices and sharing the teachings of Bhakti-yoga. Most of his time is spent in Hungary where he resides within the spiritual haven, Krishna Valley. https://sivaramaswami.com/

Pankajanghri and Jananivasa Portrait Painting

Srila Prabhupada once remarked, “The two brothers Pankajanghri and Jananivasa – there is no comparison. Everyone should know there is no complaint.” (1/2/76, Mayapur – A Transcendental Diary Vol.1)

The 19th of March marks the auspicious appearance day of two of ISKCON Mayapur’s most beloved and long-standing residents, His Grace Jananivas Prabhu and His Grace Pankajanghri Prabhu. Jananivas Prabhu and Pankajanghri Prabhu are the head pujaris of ISKCON Mayapur and continually inspire the Mayapur community and ISKCON worldwide with their guidance, realizations, and example of humble and loving devotional service.

The two brothers were born in England, and came to India in search of the Absolute Truth in 1970. After studying many different philosophies, Jananivas Prabhu received a copy of Bhagavad-gita As It Is while traveling alone in Jagannatha Puri. He then joined the ISKCON temple in Kolkata and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada, and was shortly followed by his brother Pankajanghri Prabhu. They began serving in Mayapur as pujaris when the Mayapur project was just beginning, and have been serving thus ever since.

All glories to these two surrendered and stalwart servants of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!
