Early Days of ISKCON Berkeley: An Interview with Mitra Prabhu 

I'm loving these interviews

Nice history.

Hi mitra sena dasa good story from your god brother gohita dasa I remember when you came to Berkeley temple I answered the door and got hari pada for you I was making sweet rice for Sunday feast it’s nice to hear some one else talk about the Berkeley 7:47 7:47 temple every one seemed to embarrassed to discuss it 😢😅😂 7:47 ;

Ahh the good ol days.

Post the ones with no video on YT too. Jusr put a picture to make the video.

I didn't move into the iskcon Berkeley temple until 1990. Hari vilasa was gbc and lived in the temple. Janakinatha dasa was tp and krishna kumara dasa was temple commander...typical iskcon temple hierarchy! Mother madanasini was one of the only prabhupada disciples still living in the temple. Many of the congregational devotees were hamsaduta disciples. Hamsaduta dasa was banned from attending the temple at the time. As far as sannyasis, hanumat prekasa swami was there as well as trivikrama swami. Many prabhupada disciples visited on Sunday and festivals. Krta karma dasa lived there in 1991 as well as Visala dasa. Jagannatha swami dasa was in charge of organizing the San francisco ratha yatra. My gurudeva hh bhaktiswarupa damodara swami was across the bay at the san francisco iskcon temple/Bhaktivedanta Institute. This is all around 1990 to 1994.
