Eddie, for his part, loved Jimi Hendrix and was partial to the electric guitar.
So when his family broke up in 1971, and he moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland, it was the guitar that he turned to, playing with a number of bands and beginning to make a name for himself.
“But he always had a spirit that was beyond the mundane life he was living back then,” says his brother, John.
The room only had one entry and exit point, consisting of three doors. An altar and his deities were located at the far end of the room, the furthest point from the door. He understood the inner workings of extraordinarily esoteric spiritual details, yet applied it all in the most down-to-earth, practical, and tangible manner.
Biography
Early life
Discovering the Music of the Spiritual World
Born on March 12, 1953 at 4:28:45 am, Growing up in Haymarket, Virginia in the 1950s and ‘60s, Eddie Striker was a jack-of-all trades artist from early on, painting, drawing, and doing his own embroidery.
He was already a spiritual leader even then, because he made me aware of other things beyond the agnostic way we were raised, and opened me up to my own spiritual path.”
Back at the temple, Aindra became known as a rather erudite preacher—he joined everyone else in book distribution on the streets, loved speaking to guests at the weekly Sunday Feast, and was always looking for a way to spread Krishna consciousness.
His unique mood and love for kirtan also emerged early on.
With that money, Aindra Prabhu bought a panel box van. The devotees carried Aindra's body out of the room and place it on a grass mat covered with saffron cloth. Aindra Prabhu had to pay rent for his rooms at the Gurukula, pay for his kichari prasadam—pay for everything he needed to maintain his and his crew’s body and soul together.
It will be very pleasing to Srila Prabhupada. His life exemplified the principle of surrender to Krishna, and his legacy lives on through the ongoing 24-hour kirtan at Krishna Balaram Mandir, ISKCON Vrindavan and the countless lives he touched through his kirtans and personal example. Especially on the third floor of the Bhaktivedanta Swami Gurukula building.
Not only the weather was difficult, but there was no money for maintenance. But Aindra Prabhu was not interested in living comfortably, and whenever the occasion arose, he would give donations to the temple. And because, even at night, the water just about steamed out of the taps, there was no scope for refreshing showers.
Behind these two doors was a second, airtight door made of wood and covered with soundproofing rubber and foam materials imported from New York. “Who painted them?” he asked Radha-Shyamasundar’s pujari Bhaktisiddhanta das.
“One of the brahmacharis,” Bhaktisiddhanta had replied.
Aindra knew something was off.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, an incarnation of Krishna, emphasized the importance of spreading nama-sankirtan for the spiritual upliftment of human society.
Samadhi and Legacy
On August 15, 2010, thirty days after Aindra Dasa's tragic death, his samadhi (memorial tomb) was installed in his room at the Krishna Balaram Mandir, ISKCON Vrindavan.
No pujari, no artist he’d ever known, would have been able to paint Radharani’s eyes with such bhava or spiritual expertise.
