As the Director for Varnasrama College ONLINE and on behalf of the VCO Steering Committee it is with a deep heart that I regret to inform all the Teachers and Students registered with VCO that one of our VCO Steering Committee Members and one of our Teachers set to deliver one of the seven inaugural courses entitled “Dealing with Mother Nature”, His Grace Hari Kirtan Prabhu, has been called by Lord Krishna this morning and is no longer with us.

We all pray that he continues to be sheltered at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna for his untiring years of dedicated service to the cause of Varnasrama Dharma.

He was a pioneer in promoting Varnasrama Colleges and helping to give seminars at the yearly ISKCON LEADS program.

His Grace Hari Kirtan Prabhu served as the Director for Village Development in the ISKCON Daiva Varnasrama Ministry (IDVM-India) and was very active travelling from village to village.

He inspired thousands of villagers to become dedicated to the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and helped establish a number of preaching centres.

More recently His Grace Hari Kirtan Prabhu had accepted the post of Program Leader at VCO heading up the Faculty of Traditional Technology.

We all pray for his safe journey back home back to Godhead.

I request all the devotees to kindly offer prayers for his continued service in devotional service.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Yours in service to Srila Prabhupada,

RP Bhakti Raghava Swami
Director, Varnasrama College ONLINE
