To the Disciples of His Divine Grace Srila Sridhara Swami Maharaj

[Guest guest]

My dear god-cousins,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Sridhara Swami

Maharaj! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

It is with a sad heart that I have received the news of the passing of His

Divine Grace. At the same time, I rejoice, knowing his destination, knowing

the fact that he will be reunited with Srila Prabhupada, whom he so

faithfully served during this lifetime, and also knowing that he will once

again be reunited with my own guru maharaj, Srila Tamala Krsna Goswami

Maharaj.

 

I empathize with you in your loss. To lose one's spiritual master is the

greatest of all losses. But please know that if he seemed available to you

only occasionally in his physical form, he is now present whenever you

sincerely meditate on his lotus feet and on your eternal service to him.

 

I pray that you may be comforted, after your grief has somewhat subsided.

Please take shelter of your godbrothers and the other advanced souls in your

midst.

 

His Divine Grace, Srila Sridhara Swami Maharaj, ki jaya!

 

Your humble servant,
