First Murti of Srila Prabhupada
Hand Sculptured in Clay
By Locan Dasa 1978
I thought that you can feast your eyes on photos of What Locan Dasa who sold to my wife; of course after he had molded it out of clay, because it is a technic used to eventually mold a life size one, by taking measurements with a caliper on the small one from one point of the face to another one, and multiply by a factor to get the exact duplicate in molding a life size one; which he did for the Los Angeles Temple, after Prabhupada’s departed. Locan told me he called this 9 inch high Murti, The Acarya, because it was the First Ever in History of ISKCON that a Murti of Srila Prabhupada was made. When he completed the life size one sitting in the Temple at Los Angeles, he made a mold of this one so he could make duplicates out of some kind of material, which I do not know what is use;;, which he did, until in the mid-1990's I talked to him on the phone, because the mold he had was to worn out and wanted to make another. The problem was is that I had it with me in India in Vrindavan. But it never happened.
Any ways he sold it to my wife at that time, for $350, after he had fired it, painted it and made the clothes you see in the photo that are original .
I took off the Kurta in one photo so you can see the body detail. I took these photo around 2013.
The fact that Locan Dasa who has a Studio in North Carolina, new that he had sold it to my wife in Los Angles, and she gave him my telephone number in India, is proof that he did not possess the Original, and He called her because he needed to make a new mold, and he knew he had sold it to her.
It is now 2025, and when I am able, I will take the Acarya Murti, on a trip to North Carolina (so I can visit my 3 great grandchildren) and, so that Locan can inspect it, and authenticate it and can sign some legal documents that it is the first one he molded out of clay, and you can even tell, that little 9 inch (could be 9 ½ inches) one is HEAVY, like a big stone. I will then have it incased in a hermetically sealed glass case so that devotees in the future history of the manifestation of Lord Caitanya/s Golden Age of Kali'yuga, will someday see it in a museum.
