H.G. Sri Kesava Prabhu

Sri Keshava Prabhu
Present Location: IYF Vrindavan

I met Prabhuji in Pune on my first visit to Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari Mandir. Got myself enrolled in his Bhakti Vriksha Program. There I met other devotees also such as Ravindra Caitanya (Rohit) Prabhu, Rakesh Kesari prabhu, Alok Pr, Prashant Pr, Deepesh Pr and others.

Soon after 2 months just before Janmashtmi, 2006 Prabhuji left Pune to serve in Vrindavan as a Pujari near his Spiritual Master - his Holiness Radha Govind Swami Maharaja. At this time, the reins of our group were now handled jointly by HG Jaya Nitai Pr and Jugal kishor Pr.

Everytime thereon when I used to go to Vrindavan, I used to meet him. And being so sweet he is, always used to give me some mahaprasad directly from altar, Breakfast Prasadam coupons, maha garlands amongst other things.

Prabhuji then went on to become Temple Commander to Congregation Preaching in Agra. Latest update: Back to youth preaching in Mathura colleges.

Whenever he meets me, asks me about my spiritual life upkeep, sadhna and if I am in regular contact with my counsellor.

Sri Kesava Prabhu is one of the sweetest devotee I have ever met.

I feel Iskcon is doing a good work by promoting the Preaches of Krishna - but is the BhagvadGita which Iskcon preaches is the original one, As i see our young youth getting attracted towards it and driving backwards from their daily life and accepting the life of serving the temples and leading a life which doesn't have any hardships. They enjoy in chanting and stay away from their family by not caring whether their dear ones - they donot care how their old parents have taken the hardships to grow them, educate them and bring them to a stage where they should at least care for them and be for them during their old age. What will happen to a mother when she hears from her son - I do not care for you, you have all the money to stay alive and live on her own. When his father weeps - he doesn't even care to ask whats the problem, where the same father took all the kind of efforts without a tear in his eyes for the same child to give all the happiness of his life during his childhood. My BIG concern is whether ISKCON teaches their disciples to stay away from their families and act arrogantly with their dear ones. Coz this whole thing which i have mentioned had happened with my family - my own brother has gone the ISKCON way and left his parents in such a way - which can't be imaginable. I need to understand who is responsible for such divertion - the YOuth of today is the strength of nation - he needs to give happiness to his family first - he should first serve his family - his mother and father. Parents have strived the whole life to give happiness to their children and in the end they just expect them to be with them and be their eyes during their old age.
But some senior members of ISKCON are doing wrong preachings and drifting the todays youth in wrong ways at the PUNE Iskcon center. Whoever is the supreme authority needs to understand this and ensure their preachings are done systematically universally. I am not sure if this message goes in a right way to the right person and is acted upon rightly - so the today youth is given the right direction.
