Disappearance of HG Shyama Hari Prabhu (JPS)

October 4, 2005

Dear Satsangis,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All

glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga.

HG Shyama Hari das Prabhu (JPS) who is one of our leaders of Shyama Desh

yatra has disappeared technically y'day night the 3rd OCt.

29th Sep, Thursday early morning, on the Indira Ekadasi day, he had offered

obeisances at his Guru Maharaj's altar before going to have his bath and he

had a massive stroke and for all practical purposes, left his body almost

immediately.

He has served Srila Prabhupada's movement for over 15 years very very

sincerely and has helped in the wonderful growth of the Shyama Desh

congregation. His whole family, originally from Sri Lanka, disciples of HH

JAyapataka Swami maharaj, have served their Guru Maharaj and the movement

gloriously.

His dedication to the instruction of his Guru Maharaj, humility, personal

care for the congregation, sadhana standards, soft spokenness cannot be

easily emulated.

His entire family of 7 brothers, mother, brother's in law flew in from

various parts of the world and are by the side of the wife Kuladipika devi

dasi mataji and his three daughters.

Cremation of the body is going to be performed on Tue/Wed at a Cemetry in

Sharjah.

The whole congregatin was there in large numbes during his hospitalisation

supporting the family. It was in a way so nice to see that devotees from

all parts of India were there to support the family and share the sorrow as

we are all going to miss this devotee. We are able to realize the fact that

our congregation becomes our family Vasudeva Kutumbam and that Srila

Prabhupada has built a home in which the whole world can reside.

We shall have a condolence meeting along with our Friday gathering at the

Sindhi Ceremonial Centre between 9.30am & 12.30pm with a feast in his

honour. All are welcome to attend.

Pls bless the soul of HG Shayma Hari PRabhu & bless the family to continue

in full vigour in Krishna Consciousness.

your servant,

Sri Vallabha das
