By Manu Dasa
Wanted: a deity of Srila Prabhupada in cultured marble-resin. I would like to have one that is exactly like the kind used on temple altars. I have been told that they are made by a devotee named Locana dasa. They are 11″ in height and have very good
quality features and painting.
If anyone knows how to get in contact with this devotee or knows of another way to obtain such a murti or have one custom-made, please e-mail me at:
muniya4@hotmail.com
This is much appreciated. Hare Krsna,
manu dasa
Locan das is the supreme sculptor of all the magnificent Prabhupada murtis. I didn’t know his contact info, but knew is birth name, so I did a google search and came up with:
Lawrence Heyda Studio, 919-644-2251, 203 Murray St, Hillsborough, NC, 27278.
I believe he’s produced a few different sizes. And I don’t know any of his prices.
thank u so much madhusudana prabhu! i received some info directing me towards his wife and then to him and then he has responded to me! ppl have been very helpful here.
unfortunately, he has sold the molds of the murtis to hh bhakti caru mj. so i have emailed him and anxiously await a reply.
my search for my srila prabhupada murti continues…..
but im getting closer :)
