(Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa-Puja/ Disappearance Day issue, 1986)
The Vaisnava Journal was created in the mid-'80s to help devotees work through our differences in a respectful and co-operative manner with the aim of preserving the loving mood in our spiritual family after the physical departure of Srila Prabhupada. Although only five issues were printed and distributed over the next two-and-a-half years, the magazine was popular and well received by leaders, members and friends of ISKCON.
Over the years I’ve been approached by numerous devotees requesting copies of The Vaisnava Journal. Since I have only one set available, I was unable to comply until now. Please have a look at our humble attempt to serve Srila Prabhupada and his great mission during a time of change in our movement’s history.
In particular, I’d like to draw your attention to the Vaisnava Forum (letters section) which was launched to help facilitate a healthy dialogue among all participants. The mood was friendly and hopeful to which the devotees responded in kind. Writers and contributors read like a who’s who list of ISKCON members at the time. If anything, the journal proved that devotees of all persuasions can relate to one another with respect and godbrotherly love which was Srila Prabhupada’s instruction and desire for us all.
Since posting The Vaisnava Journal online, I've received some feedback from our readers expressing their inability to read all the issues due to lack of time and they've asked me to simplify the process for them. Below is an overview of each issue. (When you click on a link the corresponding issue will open in PDF format.)
