Imphal, October 04: With a deep sense of shock over the loss of one

of the most illustrious sons of Manipur, condolences continued to

pour in over the sad and sudden demise of His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa

Damodara Maharaj even as last rites of the internationally renowned

spiritual leader was performed at Radhakund of Vrindavan according

to his last wish today afternoon.

 

Expressing his condolence after three days of the demise of Swami,

Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh in a condolence message addressed to

ISKCON Mani Mandir president Ajit Das said 'I am shocked to hear the

sudden demise of Shri Guru Maharaj Bhaktiswarup Damodar Swamiji at

Kolkata'.

 

Although the well wishers and others from Manipur tried their best

to bring Swamiji to Imphal for the last darshan, we could not do so

due to various factors beyond our control, Ibobi said, adding that

on his demise we lost forever one of the eminent scholar, a great

spiritual leader, who stood for peace, communal harmony and world

brotherhood.

 

The Chief Minister also prayed for Swami's soul to rest in peace.

 

Although the last samadhi of Swamiji had been performed at Shridham

Radhakunda at Vrindavan this afternoon where Bhaktas coming from all

over the world pay their last respect to their spiritual Guru, many

ISKCON Devotees and well-wishers including the students of

Bhaktivedanta Institute Mission Higher Secondary School also offered

their Pushpajali to the Guruji during a religious function held at

Mani Mandir of ISKCON here today.
