Panchagauda holds the record as the longest standing temple president in Vrndavan India – 8 Years-
He joined ISKCON in 1976 in Buffalo NY, then moved to Miami and managed temples there for many years.
When I met him in Vrndavan this year, (2017) he was calm and casual. He seemed to have all the time in the world for me.
“Vrndavan is home for all devotees. It’s our duty to welcome everyone, to make sure they feel at home here.”
