Remembrances of HDG Tamal Krsna Goswami in Mayapur, 16-17 March 2002

[Guest guest]

New Delhi, INDIA

 

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Matajis,

 

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

All glories to Srila Tamal Krsna Goswami Maharaj.

 

The profoundly deep and penetratingly sincere words of those who personally

knew Srila Tamal Krsna Goswami Maharaja, had his close association, served

him and loved him, could not help but leave devotees in the fully packed

main temple hall of Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir deeply moved. Many were

shedding quiet tears of sorrow and affection for the one who Srila

Prabhupada had called "the most outstanding grandson of Srila

Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati".

 

With the approval and consent of a few senior devotees and Tamal Krsna

Maharaja's senior disciples, we would like to share with you most of the

remembrances of Srila Tamal Krsna Maharaja's wonderful qualities during the

two days of his memorial service in Sridham Mayapur, 16-17 March 2002. The

sound files are in RealAudio format. I will be sending them in their natural

order in a series of comments on this letter, so you could conveniently

download them.

 

Included are also remembrances of HG Vrindavanesvari devi dasi, who departed

in the same car accident.

 

I would like to sincerely apologize for the poor quality of the sound files

- there was very little or no time to prepare for a quality recording. I

would also like to apologize for having missed out homages by HH Sridhar

Swami, HH Prabhavisnu Swami, HH Gopal Krsna Goswami and a few other senior

devotees due to technical problems. I hope that someone having recordings of

their speeches could make up for the gaps and send them as well to this

forum.

 

Begging to remain

 

your servant,

Madana-mohana das
