with His Grace Bada Haridas Prabhu
Bada Haridas Prabhu, a disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, received a Bachelor's degree in music composition from the University of Southern California and pursued a career as a professional musician before becoming a full-time member of ISKCON. Upon his return to Southern California following two years in Europe, Bada Haridas joined the Krishna Consciousness movement in Los Angeles, in 1975. The next year he was transferred to the ISKCON temple in Laguna Beach, CA where he performed a variety of services, including nearly ten years serving as the Temple President.
In 1996 he and his wife and two children moved to Alachua, FL. Since that time, Bada Haridas has been teaching devotional music in the Vaishnava Academy for Girls and has offered numerous seminars on Vaishnava devotional songs in places as far distant as the Ukraine. Bada Haridas Prabhu has produced several recordings of devotional music that include his own performances of Vaishnava songs in traditional and original arrangements. He also produces recordings for other devotee musicians.
