MAYAPUR – It was a great pleasure for me to have had the association of Kalidas prabhu. He was an emblem of all Vaisnava qualities. Gentle and reserved, compassionate and caring, generous and loving.  I was deeply impressed by his service attitude.  Whenever I came to the Klang center he was always by my side looking after me and seeing to my needs.

KLANG – Kalidascharan prabhu and his family have always been serving ISKCON Malaysia so wonderfully.

I met Kalidascharan prabhu, a disciple of HH Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj, in the very early 80’s (I think 1982) and during that visit to the temple at Jalan Anak Gasing the Temple President at that time announced that the temple was starting a Prabhupada Book Marathon for the month. It was at this time I met Kalidascharan prabhu and I purchased the The Golden Avatar from him. It was probably the first book I purchased from a sankirtan devotee. Since then we have always been good friends. He and his family have always helped me in my service to ISKCON. Whenever we meet he will always come and give a hug and ask me how are you? And always offer good wishes. He is truly a well wishing friend to me. He would always say “Guru’s mercy, Krishna’s mercy”.

I feel so sad that I was unable to post the following – I wrote it on the 20th but could not get online for  3 days. I will miss Kalidascharan so much – we spent lots of time together. Please send my best wishes and condolensces to his family.

Please pass on

KUALA LUMPUR – From the early eighties, when he became a practising devotee and started distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books, until his health failed him recently, Kalidascaran prabhu was an indefatigable preacher of Krishna consciousness.

KLANG – Kalidascaran prabhu, left his body about 5.20pm on 22/1/2012. He is an exemplary devotee in that he and his wife remained in ISKCON despite facing great personal and spiritual tribulations. He also served as Temple President of ISKCON Klang. He resigned when his kidneys failed. However, he always attended the local ISKCON programs and major programs in SJMKL. He also always attended ratha yatras despite personal difficulties.
