I am inspired by Nirguna das because he exemplified what it is to be a true follower and dedicated disciple of Srila Prabhupada. He did not pursue any self aggrandizement or recognition from his Godbrothers, but only desired to serve and please Srila Prabhupada with all his heart and soul. He was amicable, soft hearted, and a true gentle and saintly soul.<\/p>\n<p>We will always miss and remember Nirguna  prabhu, and we should all pray to serve Srila Prabhupada with the same fervent desire that he demonstrated.<br \/>\nToday, let us all offer a heartfelt prayer to Sriman Nirguna das prabhu, and try to emulate his glorious service to our eternal spiritual master, His Divine Grace, A.C.
