There are extremely rare souls on the planet today who can live the way Sriman Kurmarupa prabhu did before leaving his body on 28th June, 2015. The special and most adorable feature of his lifestyle was his dedication to serving holy cows, the most wonderful creature on earth. Cows are very dear even to the Supreme Lord Krishna.

Kurmarupa prabhu was a disciple of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, the founder-acharya of ISKCON. He took his guru’s instructions to heart on serving cows and lived his life centered around that principle.
