After preaching in Japan for about a year, in 1970 he opened ISKCON's first Hong Kong center.

In his last meeting in 1976, Bhurijana Prabhu was requested by Srila Prabhupada to help develop the educational system. Since then he has taught both academic and ashrama courses in Gita-Nagari and Vrindavana and has conducted several teacher training courses in Vrindavana. In 1987, in Vrindavana, he began the Vaisnava Institute for Higher Education, where he has taught courses in teaching, writing, and the main books of Srila Prabhupada -- Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Srimad-Bhagavatam, The Nectar of Devotion, The Nectar of Instruction, and Sri Isopanisad. To fulfill Srila Prabhupada's desire, he is now organizing degree courses on Srila Prabhupada's books, especially the first six cantos of the Bhagavatam. No wonder that his main topic at Govardhan Retreat is Bhagavatam. He has written several books, including The Art of Teaching, Surrender Unto Me (in-depth study of the Bhagavad-gita), Studying Srimad-Bhagavatam, My Glorious Master and "Unveiling His Lotus Feet" - in-depth study of the 1st 4 Cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam. -
New Release from VIHE Publications! We are delighted to announce the release of the latest book by H.G. Bhurijana Prabhu: Toward His Smiling Face: A Detailed Overview of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Cantos 7-9. Toward His Smiling Face is the last in the Overview of Srimad-Bhagavatam series before we arrive at Canto 10. Cantos 7-9 continue the journey toward "the smiling face of Krşņa," revealed in Śukadeva Gosvāmī's pure-hearted account of Krşņa as the fullest expression of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Like the Bhagavatam's earlier cantos, these three cantos don't simply fill space until we arrive at Canto Ten. Just as each of Krsna's limbs has unique charm, so cantos 7-9 provide a rare glimpse into the hearts of exalted devotees and the Lord Himself - drawing us, like travelers coming home, to a face-to-face encounter with Śrī Kṛṣṇa, jewel of Vraja. -
