In 1971, an Indian man made his maiden voyage to Kenya. He was coming to visit his friend who had previously moved to the country. Srila Prabhupada was a sick man, and he wanted to find his rejuvenation in the oceanfront home of his friend Mr Pandya.

The calm seas gave him a beautiful healing calm, and when he got better, he decided to visit the country's capital, see what lay beyond the oceans. He also wanted to visit the Vedic devotees (Hindu practitioners), also of Indian origin.
