A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (September 1, 1896–November 14, 1977) was the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (popularly known as the "Hare Krishnas"). Born as Abhay Charan De, in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. He studied at the Scottish Churches College, Calcutta, which was then administered by the British. Before adopting the life of a vanaprastha, or pious renunciant, in 1950, he was married with children and owned a small pharmaceutical business. He later took sannyasa (a vow of renunciation) in 1959.

i won't be able to even say his call wisely , under no circumstances recommendations explaining it to you. I truthfully have spoken with the Hare Krsna human beings until now or perhaps eaten with them. I for sure remember them calling him "Prabhupada". Peace be with you

I read his version of the Bhagavadgita with discourse. The entire theology is lifted from the Bible. Its evident that his prolonged stay in America was not without consequence.

Another false teacher who preaches the lie that people can come to God on their own terms instead of being justified by the sacrifice that Jesus made.
"Prabhupada considered Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed to be empowered representatives of God, describing them within his writings as pioneers of the same essential message of dedication to God with love and devotion.
"Actually, it doesn't matter – Krishna or Christ – the name is the same. The main point is to follow the injunctions of the Vedic scriptures that recommend chanting the name of God in this age." (from The Science of Self-Realization, ISBN 91-7149-447-2)
In line with traditional Vaishnava theology (which focuses largely on dualism), Prabhupada was critical of the monist philosophies of Hinduism, calling the adherents of unadulterated monism "rascals". Although the Gaudiya-Vaishnava philosophy he followed is neither fully dualistic or monist (Achintya Bheda Abheda), as a devotional path Gaudiya Vaishnavism has much more in common with the Dvaita, as opposed to the Advaita schools.
Here's what the "empowered representative of God" had to say.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
So either Jesus is a liar and Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is mistaken about who He was or Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is mistaken about what is important to God concerning salvation.

Know where he is? Hell, I can't even pronounce his name. Wait...there used to be some kind of a Swami hang out in Malibu. But that either burnt down or got turned into a rehab, so your question beats me.
