About Shrutirupa Devi
My mother took me to the temple for the first time in Coconut Grove, FL when I was 15 years old in 1970. I was already a vegetarian before my first temple visit, so I went to experience their ‘Vegetarian Love Feast’ as it was called back then.
When I became of age, 18 years old, I joined the temple in Paris, France while traveling with my childhood friend, who also joined at the same time and she became Kanti & that was in 1973.
Initiated by Srila Prabhupada in 1974 & brahmin initiation in 1975 Vrindavan.
Began cooking for Srila Prabhupada in Vrndavan in 1975 and continued while he was in India in 1976 & 1977.
Palika and I served Srila Prabhupada together and then I alone in 1977 till he went to London on his last trip in 1977, which I traveled with him to the Manor.
