At a historic event in Prayagraj during the Maha Kumbh Mela, the Akhila Bharatiya Akhara Parishad honoured Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, with the esteemed title of ‘Vishwa Guru’—a recognition bestowed upon a spiritual leader for the first time in history. Speaking on the occasion, Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Niranjani Akhara, stated that this honour was long overdue but divinely ordained for this sacred moment. He also acknowledged that it was Lord Krishna’s will for Srila Prabhupada to be established as ‘Vishwa Guru.’ He praised ISKCON for preserving the Vedic tradition of offering the highest reverence to the spiritual master, highlighting ISKCON Bangalore’s initiation system with Srila Prabhupada as the diksha-guru.
