We are pleased to welcome you to a wonderful program with HG Devakinandan Prabhu coming Friday (10th April) at ISKCON Scarborough.

Prabhu had previously visited ISKCON Scarborough in September 2013 and inspired us with his wonderful lecture and kirtan.
Information about Devaki Nandan Prabhu, Congregation Leader of Iskcon Singapore
HG Devakinandan Das is a very senior disciple of HH Mahavishnu Gosvami Maharaj. Prabhu took up Krishna Consciousness, through the pages of Srimad Bhagavatam, in Singapore in 1983, and met His Holiness in 1989, also in Singapore. Taking initiation from Maharaj in 1994, Prabhu has since been one of Maharaj's most confidential servants.
Prabhu is a lawyer by profession, running his own private practice in Singapore, and an exemplary Grihastha, married to HG Radhika Matajii, also an initiated disciple of Maharaj, and a school principal in Singapore. They have two children.
Despite his busy work schedule, Prabhu puts aside 4 to 5 months every year just to travel for Maharaj. In his travels, to countries such as India, USA, Denmark, New Zealand, Australia and many parts of Middle East, Prabhu has and continues to inspire many persons in Krishna Consciousness. In India, Prabhu oversees the temple projects in ISKCON Dwaraka and ISKCON Rajkot. He is heavily involved in all aspects of the temple and guest house constructions at these places - from collecting Lakshmi to selecting materials, Prabhu continues to tirelessly assist his Spiritual Master fulfill his service to Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhu is also an expert preacher of Srimad Bhagavatam and a wonderful Kirtan leader. Many have taken to Krishna Consciousness just by hearing his Kirtans. On top of all these he is also leading the congregation of devotees in Singapore. He was instrumental in setting up an ISKCON centre there. Through Prabhu's efforts, university preaching has also grown phenomenally in Singapore. Many university students have enthusiastically taken up to Krishna consciousness.
In recent years Prabhu has also increased his involvement in the Strategic Planning Committee by engaging in various devotional projects such as the Affiliate Development and Devotee Care programmes. Despite all this Prabhu still remains grounded by making time to constantly engage in deity worship, cooking and cleaning Sevas at the temple in Singapore. Bhagavatam in one hand, duster in another.
