Siddhasvarupananda's followers surrender

Govinda Dasi: When Sai joined with us, he brought many of his own followers to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada - disciples such as Maile, who became Manjari Dasi, and Balakhiya, Saisesekar, Phenops, Prahladhada Das and many more. Sai was initiated by Srila Prabhupada and given the name Siddhasvarupananda das. He was given brahmana initiation and sannyasa on the day of the Installation of the Pancha Tattva Deities.

When we moved into the Manoa house, we were only five devotees, Balabhadra, Jayasri, Turyadas, Goursundar and myself. Within months, the place was brimming with new and enthusiastic devotees! Such is the power of the Holy Names, and daily sankirtana parties on the streets of Honolulu!
