Many Moons: Reflections on Departed Vaishnavas authored by Giriraj Swami is an appreciation of nine devotees (Jayananda das, Gour Govinda Swami, Tamal Krishna Goswami, Sridhar Swami, BhaktaTirtha Swami, Bhaktisvarupa Damodar Swami, Arca-Vigraha dasi, AbhiramaThakura das, and Kirtida dasi) who heard from or were inspired by Srila Prabhupada and who dedicated themselves to his service. Their examples will help increase our gratitude for those who have devoted themselves to the service of Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.
In prosecuting the Hare krishna movement all over the world, Srila Prabhupada was looking for just a single moon – one devotee to be trained and engaged in dissipating the darkness of the Age of Kali, the darkness in people’s hearts- in accordance with the Sanskrit maxim “Innumerable starts cannot dissipate the darkness, but one moon can illuminate the whole sky.”
They all, in their own special and uniquely beautiful ways, were instruments of Vaishnava love, charity, faith, hope, and determination. Each assisted in easing the tribulations of many embodied souls. Thus they all performed the sacred mission requested by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and we are confident that the benediction moons of Srila Prabhupada, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and Sri Krishna have bestowed their love and grace upon them.
