HH Sridhar Swami passed away at 6:10 am on 14-3-04 in Mayapur dham

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my most humble obeisance's. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

With deep sorrow in our heart we announce to the vaishnava community the

passing away of His Holiness Sridhar Swami at 6:10 am, on this most

auspicious occasion of the Appearance day of Srivas Pandit, in the Holiest

of all places Sri Mayapur Dham. His Holiness was conscious and looking at

all the Deities pictures and Srila Prabhupada's pictures while he left His

body.

 

His Holiness was feeling not so well yesterday during the night.

When I saw him a few days ago, speaking by phone with HH Radhanath Swami, he

confirmed to me that he would like to go to the west again to

preach since he is feeling better now. But Krsna Has other plans for His

Holiness. Yesterday I posted the picture of Maharaja receiving the World

Excellence award from the hands of HH Bhaktiswarup Damodara Swami for his

preaching and service to his beloved Gurumaharaja Srila Prabhupada.

I will be reporting the whole day all the incidents. I just received a call

that

 

His Holiness is a very fortunate devotee since He could be in Mayapur during

the Sri Panca Tattva Deities installation as Krsna fulfilled His desire to

be with His Godbrothers and Godsisters and all the vaishnavas in this

important festival and during the Gaurpurnima festival, Leaving the body in

Mayapur is only for the most fortunates souls since they for sure go back to

serve the Lotus Feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and the Panca Tattva

Bhagavan. Few days back i gave one poster to Maharaja of Him garlanding Lord

Nityananda during the installation ceremony after abhisheka, and he told me

that it was the most astonishing and best picture of him doing any service

to the Lord and he especialy wanted to bath Lord Nityananda, His Holiness

also has an amazing and very beautiful deity of Lord Narashimha deva that i

will send later on the picture to all of you to have darsan of His Deity as

once He told me that He wanted all the devotees to have pictures of this

Narashimha Sila and have darsan of The Protector of the Devotees, May Lord

Nityananda and Lord Narasimha dev shower their mercy and protection on His

Holiness.

 

We hope devotees would chant extra rounds for this ocassion which in fact is

a very auspicius day since it is the appearance day of Srivas Pandit as we

mentioned earlier.

 

HH Jayapataka Swami gave instructions by phone regarding the ceremonies to

perform and trying his best to come from Rajamundri which is 7 hours away

from the nearest airport (since He is with the South India safari tour). We

hope his desire to be here with His dear Godbrother will be realized in case

flights and connections are possible.
