Jaladuta
"Messenger of the
Water"
The Jaladuta must be
the most famous Indian vessel ever. She carried Srila Prabhupada the
father of “Hare Krishna” from
Calcutta to New York. She set sail on Friday the 13th of August 1965, and arrived
in New York on September 19th. Srila Prabhupada got a free
passage to America from the Scindia Steamship Navigation Company, whose
owner, Srimati Moroi, was a devotee of Lord
