Homenagem a Sriman Aindra Prabhu – SS Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami

Satsvarupa das Goswami:

"I wish to add my feelings of loss at the shocking news of the sudden
disappearance of Aindra Prabhu in the Krishna Balarama Mandira in Vrndavana.
He was truly the "emperor of kirtana," and had hundreds of devotees around
the world who looked up to him as their siksa-guru. By establishing the
24-hour kirtana in Krishna-Balarama Mandira, Aindra Prabhu fulfilled an
expressed desire of Srila Prabhupada. It was not easy to assemble a team of
devotees who filled a 24-hour schedule of continuous kirtana, but by
Aindra's leadership, inspiration and personal participation, he managed to
get the 24-hour kirtana going, and it has continued without interruption for
many years. This is a testimony to Aindra Prabhu's loyalty to Prabhupada's
instruction, for which  Prabhupada is very pleased with him. We pray that
his team members will continue the legacy Aindra Prabhu has set and continue
the 24-hour kirtana as before.
Aindra Prabhu's personal singing is a beautiful, strong, operatic voice
filled with bhava. We are fortunate to have many recordings to continue to
listen to this great kirtaneer and sing along with him. It is a great
testimony to his popularity and belovedness that thousands of devotees and
Brijbasis accompanied the procession to the Yamuna and stayed for hours
chanting the Hare Krishna mantra. Aindra Prabhu was a purist and a very
advanced devotee in love of Radha and Krishna. In his kirtanas he did not
sing many bhajanas but only the Hare Krishna mantra again and again in many
wonderful, melodic tunes. No one can replace him, but we can try to follow
his example and constantly chant the Hare Krishna mantra in feelings of
separation from our dear Prabhu."
