Shivananda prabhu is a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who’s now 74 years old and lives full time at the “Prabhupada village” in North Carolina. He and his wife have been full time pujaris ever since they joined the movement, never accepting any salary and fully depending on Krishna for their maintenance. Srila Prabhupada sent Shivananda prabhu to Germany in 1968 where he opened up the preaching in Germany when he was only 18 years old! He has about 30 letters that Srila Prabhupada addressed to him personally with different personal instructions. Srila Prabhupada addresses him as “My dear son Shivananda Das Brahmacari“ at least in one letter. Both he and his wife Madan Mohan Mohini mataji are very glorious long time devotees and books can be written about them and their preaching endeavors.
