!!!,,,HH Tamal Krishna Goswami Passed away car accident (15-3-2002)

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees

 

PAMHO&AGTSP

 

Mayapur March 15th 2002.

 

IT IS VERY SAD FOR ME TO REPORT TO ALL OF YOU THIS VERY SAD NEWS. I just got

a call from few devotees telling me that HH Tamal Krishna Goswami passed

away due to car accident going to Calcutta Airport, He was unconscious but

finally passed away in the hospital as it was reported by one devotee, since

communication is very bad now.

 

Before yesterday HH Tamal Krishna Maharaja was talking about his experiences

with Srila Prabhupada and other devotees on the main stage in the festival

inauguration program and after that He excused himself due to health

problems, so we have to assume that his body was little weak and could not

tolerate the shock of the accident, he also was telling these stories along

with other senior devotees who were present in 1972 like HH Jayapataka

Maharaja, Lokanath Maharaja and Brahmananda prabhu, and it so unfortunate

for us to lose the physical presence of such a dear devotee and personal

associate and secretary of HDG Srila Prabhupada.

 

We all pray to the lord to have him in his eternal abode as He have

dedicated all his life to serve His Gurumaharaja HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami

Prabhupada and to spread Krishna Consciousness all over the world.

 

The accident happened one hour away from Mayapur in an area called Fulia and

at 5:15 am and was taken to a Hospital in Ranaghat (between Krishna nagar

and Calcutta).

 

In few hours the body of HH Tamal Krishna Maharaja will be brought back to

Mayapur after clearing with the legal formalities in the hospital.

 

The were another car traveling behind the main car and devotees immediately

reported to us in Mayapur and HH Jayapataka Maharaja immediately went to the

Hospital at 5:30 am and other 3 cars went taking Their Holinesses Sivarama

Maharaja, RAdhanath Maharaja, Jayadwaita maharaja, BV Govinda Maharaja and

Niranjana Swami.

 

Three other devotees were in the car with HH Tamal Krishna Goswami, who are

Aghabid das (In charge of the ISKCON youth group in Calcutta) who is in a

very dangerous situation and just now at 8:00 am I got the information that

he has to be taken to Hospital in Calcutta along with Vrndavaneswari dd who

is in coma, She is the wife of Kalasundara Prabhu temple President in New

Zealand who also was traveling in the same car (Tata Sumo) but is safe.

 

We keep you all informed and post this news in www.mayapur.info &

www.chakra.org

 

We request all the devotees around the world to pray for HH Tamal Krishna

Goswami and May Lord Nrishimhadeva protect HIM and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu

bless him and take him to His eternal abode.

 

His disciples here in Mayapur are chanting along with other deovtees and

praying for their Beloved Gurumaharaja,

 

 

Your servant
