Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Dear Devotees, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! His Grace Sastra Prabhu has left his body on 18th December 2004. He joined ISKCON and received initiation from His Holiness Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja in 1984. He served a lot in early days of ISKCON Ahmedabad and used to take a full month leave from his government job for Prabhupada Gita Marathon. He was very sincere, humble and most senior devotee in congregation of Ahmedabad. He was suffering from hepatitis B since long time. This year he became very seek and was hospitalized many times. Although, he could hardly walk, he did Abhiseka on Janmastami and on Srila Prabhupada 108th Vyasapuja day he came to the temple by car driving himself. This was a special mercy of Srila Prabhupada. HH Gopal Krsna Maharaja and HG Jasomatinandan Prabhu along with many devotees remained present and did Kirtan for 2 hours until he was cremated. This was an auspicious sign for his going back to Godhead. By his preaching and services, he made his life successful. We can get the lesson from this that no matter how long we live, rather whatever life span we have should be utilized to please Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. Your servant, Visvarupa das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
