Hari Sauri Dasa

Hari-sauri dasa, also known as Prabhupada Kripa Swami, a former religious leader of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was born in England on November 17, 1950. He was initiated by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON on April 9, 1972 in Sydney.
He traveled with Srila Prabhupada as his personal servant from November 1975 to March 1977. In March of 1977 Srila Prabhupada appointed him ISKCON's Governing Body Commissioner for the South Seas, a post he held until 1984.

After returning to International Society for Krishna Consciousness he takes part in the work of the society mainly by publishing his diaries. In 1986 he began the work of transforming the daily diary he kept while travelling with Srila Prabhupada into a book entitled A Transcendental Diary. As of 2007 five volumes have been published, with two more planned to complete the series.

Hari-sauri dasa currently lives in Mayapur, W. Bengal, India, the world headquarters of ISKCON, with his wife Sitala dasi, and daughter Rasarani. Apart from his writing he is also involved in the development of the planned Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, a 300' plus edifice incorporating traditional worship of the Deities Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Caitanya and His Principle Associates (Panca-tattva), Sri Prahlada-Nrsimhadeva, as well as a fully functional planetarium displaying the cosmos according to the version of the Vedic Puranic literature.
