Dear Prabhus,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
As you may know, Malati Prabhu has inspired us to compile some of the memories of
Srila Prabhupada’s women disciples. We hope this compilation will preserve for
posterity Srila Prabhupada’s legacy of exchanges with his women disciples and will
illumine still more facets of his glories – how his reciprocation with them endeared
his women disciples to him and gave them life-long inspiration and guidance.
We humbly request all women disciples of Srila Prabhupada who had personal
experiences with him to provide material for this book. After so many years your
life is still reposed around Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet. Why? Your answer to this
question will form fragrant flowers for this garland of memories we will offer Srila
Prabhupada together, with gratitude and love.
Please contact us at daughtersofsrilaprabhupada@gmail.com to arrange for us to
interview you or for information about writing or recording your memories and
sending them to us. We will facilitate you in any way you require.
In advance, thank you over and over for your cooperation. This project belongs to
all of us and its success depends on all of us, Srila Prabhupada’s loving daughters.
May our efforts reflect Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and mood.
Your servants,
Malati devi dasi

A STATEMENT OF PURPOSES
This book will be a compilation of carefully gathered eye-witness accounts and
experiences from the women disciples of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, Founder-acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
The book will document Srila Prabhupada’s exchanges with his women disciples for
the benefit of existing and future members of ISKCON as well as for anyone
interested in knowing more about our beloved spiritual master and how he deeply and
personally affected the lives of his beloved women disciples (spiritual daughters).
Our intentions for this book include:
1. To give Srila Prabhupada’s women disciples an opportunity to glorify him.
2. To insure that Srila Prabhupada’s women disciples’ voices are on record for
posterity.
3. To allow Srila Prabhupada’s women disciples to share their love for him by
revealing their exchanges with him.
4. To reveal how Srila Prabhupada was attentive to his women disciples and their
needs.
5. To show how his women disciples strongly felt Srila Prabhupada’s signature love
and care.
6. To reveal the instructions and lessons Srila Prabhupada imparted to his women
disciples.
7. To reveal personal exchanges between Srila Prabhupada and his women disciples.
8. To detail life-transforming experiences that occurred as a result of interactions
between Srila Prabhupada and his women disciples.
9. To show that Srila Prabhupada transcended the constraints of physical age, time,
place, and mundane social customs.
10. To show that Srila Prabhupada had equal love and affection for both his male and
female disciples and that he respected and gave credit to women.
This book is an important, collaborative effort from all of Srila Prabhupada’s women
disciples. Through its pages we will be united with godsisters throughout the world
and will grow even closer to our dearest beloved Srila Prabhupada.
