HH Bhakti Charu Swami Gave His Life to Srila Prabhupada

Radhanath Swami

Sometimes Bhakti Charu Maharaj, on a personal level would share with me that we were soul brothers. In a way because at exactly the time, same time in 1970, I was leaving the West travelling overland to India to look for spiritual life. And Bhakti Charu Maharaj was traveling west for the same purpose. And of course, I don't remember or recall that we ever physically and personally met on that level. But, we both had the same intention, at the same time, he was going west, and I was going east, and ultimately, he returned to the east. And being such a effulgent, intelligent, and sincere seeker of the truth, wherever he went, any spiritual teachers, they, they longed for a person like this. So, he traveled for some years, reading books, meeting different gurus and sages and yogis. And at a certain time, he was given the Nectar of Devotion, a book by Srila Rupa Goswami that was translated in summary, by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
