Grahila Prabhu then went on to tell me that he could not possibly describe how fortunate he was in all respects. He said that his constant meditation and prayer to Srila Prabhupada and Krsna was that they would engage him in Their service eternally.

One of the first books I came across in that process was Padmalocana's Cintamani-dhama. There weren't very many books in English, but "Padma" had learned to read and speak some Hindi, even back then, and we soon began traveling together throughout Vraja visiting places where Lord Krsna had performed His divine lilas

My dearest husband, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to your most merciful guru maharaja Srila Prabhupada. First I would like to thank you from the core of my heart that you came into my life and were a very caring husband.

I cannot possibly put into words the loss I feel with the passing of Padmanbha Prabhu. Before he moved to Germany at the end of 1983, he lived on this side of the Atlantic, in a place called New England. Some 27 years after his move, his departure from this world has sent shock waves to everyone who knew and loved him.

In order to assist Srila Prabhupada Sri Krishna sent many devotees. And undoubtedly HH Bhakti Tirtha Maharaj is one of them. To assist Srila Prabhupada Krishna planted different devotees in different parts of the world, in different communities, in different societies and when Srila Prabhupada went to America they came forward to assist Srila Prabhupada.

At about 3.25 pm this afternoon 25th January 2010, our beloved spiritual master, H. H Mahavishnu Gosvami Gurudev entered into his final pastimes in this mortal world and left us all in great grief of separation at the Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mira Road, Mumbai, India.

At about 3PM IST HH Mahavisnu Goswami (91 years) peacefully left his body at the Bhaktivedanta Swami Hospital, Mumbai.

As a young man, Jayo Prabhu was a dedicated Sankirtan devotee, full of life and extraordinary amounts of enthusiastic energy for serving Srila Prabhupada's mission.

I am very grateful to Srila Prabhupada for having brought me into your association. You are his sincere followers, and many of you have been serving him for decades, from when you read or heard about him or met him in person

It is with a sad heart that we inform the Vaisnava community of the passing of Kaviraj das prabhu on June 1st, 2009. Kaviraj prabhu is a direct initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

Kaviraj Prabhu was a responsible grihasta. He had imbibed the philosophy of "Krishna Consciousness" and vedic culture, he was quite intelligent and intellectual, and we developed some camaraderie.

Mother Shyama Priya was obviously very devoted to Srila Prabhupada and his great mission of spreading Krishna Consciousness, especially in her chosen service to the ISKCON Prison Ministry.

Shyama Priya not only left me the most valuable inheritance I could ever dream of in the form of her service, but she taught me very important life lessons while she was alive, as she was dying, and even after she died.

Syamapriya's daughter, Amrta, said goodbye to her when she was taken to the hospice center. It was too hard for Amrita, who is 13 years old, to watch her mom's decline.

Tears fill my eyes just now out of simple love for him. Not sad tears, but tears of gratitude that we got to serve such a great soul. I'm sure many devotees can relate to these feelings we have for Dadu.

He always used to tell us some amusing Bengali stories, some of which were a little strange, but always amusing. Eventually Daivishakti Mataji, published a small book, called "Dadu Tells a Story" even though he was adamant in his own humble way that his name not come on the book

" DADU" The most loved and respected devotee in the whole of Vraja. Dadu does not have a single enemy. He loved everybody and everybody loved him, from the sweepers to Sanyasis.

I remember Harish being so helpful to us western boys, showing us how to wash our clothes, keep clean and maintain sadhana. Physically strong as a bull, he would be often do the toughest of the chores, with a challenging smile on his face.

The Atlanta Temple, his family and friends will be coordinating the funeral service of Harish das. With the passing of our dear friend Hari Kirtan das aka Harish, we stop to pray to the lord for his safe journey home.

It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we bring this horrible news that our dear friend Hari Kirtan aka Harish, age 24, is no long with us on this planet. Harish is from Mayapur gurukula and a disciple of his Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami.

Shortly after our arrival, Maharaj's transcendental body was taken in a procession around the Gundicha Mandir, and also the Chaitanya Chandra Ashram, entering the Puri Bus Stand, and returning to the ashram.

The departure of a Vaishnava saint is a time of mixed feelings. As devotees, we are joyous that the pure devotee has returned back to home back to Godhead, joining the eternal lila of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as He spreads His sankirtan throughout the Universe.

Today URI(United Religious Initiatives) top leaders and representatives from their different cooperation circles have assembled at ISKCON Mayapur to hold its Global assembly from Nov. 30th to Dec. 5th in honor of H. H. Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami who was one of the founding member of URI.

Just as the new day after his disappearance brought the anniversary of Prabhupada’s preaching in the West, it is our hope and understanding that Sundararupa’s new day will be one of sharing Krishna consciousness for and with his Spiritual Master, Srila Prabhupada.

I had the good fortune of working with Sadaputa Prabhu in the BI and living with him and other original BI members from 1978-79 in Atlanta and Philadelphia, and again later at his own branch of the BI in 1993-94 in San Diego

I feel I should say a few words about Sadaputa Prabhu, on the occasion of his disappearance, as I worked for him from 1988 to 2005, assisting mostly with book and video production.

My dear Godbrother Sridhar Maharaja, today is the celebration of your Vyasa-puja. It is a day of mixed feelings for me: I am happy to remember your exalted service to Srila Prabhupada, and at the same time I am sad. I miss your association and friendship more than you can imagine.

In grief and dismay at the recent unexpected departure from this world of our dear friend and most valued colleague Sadaputa Prabhu, we cannot even begin to calculate the extent of our loss to ourselves as individuals and to our project.

It is with great regret that we have to acknowledge the passing of another senior member of ISKCON, Sriman Sundararupa prabhu. Husband of Sudharma dasi he had lived in Alachua FL for many years.

The work of a great man will touch the life of more people than he himself can know. It will edify, uplift and improve; it will set a foundation on which future generations can live a better quality of life; it will provide sustenance and positive direction to a multitude of souls. In Sanskrit such a person is called ‘mahatma’.

We are shocked and very sorry to hear of the sudden departure of Sriman Sadaputa dasa Adhikari (Dr. Richard L. Thompson) His work in establishing Krishna consciousness through science was brilliant and effective.

Religious movements are historical, sociological, philosophical, and hopefully, divine phenomenon. They are also the sum total of the contributions, influence and sacrifices of many men and women, both big and small.

"Jahnavi told me recently," said Pavitra, "when she was only days from passing away: 'Mata, I just want you to be at peace and to go back to Godhead, to be with Krishna'-she was the one who was leaving," Pavitra said, "but she wanted me to be at peace."

One day Krodhashamani came to my apartment and asked me to come see Sudama. He arrived in Los Angeles from San Francisco, and was dying of Aids. I knew Sudama from the Brooklyn temple. At that time he was a sannyasi, therefore we never spoke.

I got the unique opportunity to associate with Mother Nrsimha and see her pure devotion and selfless desire to serve Srila Prabhupada by taking an excellent care of His Rooms.

Yesterday morning during the auspicious brahma muhurta at 3:40 AM Nrsimha Devi, disciple of Srila Prabhupada and HH Tamal Krishna Maharaja, peacefully passed from this world in the Krishna Balaram Guesthouse in Sri Vrindavan Dham.

Our godsister Mitravinda devi dasi passed away in Alachua on April 22, 2008 of stomach cancer. She was a much-loved member of the community and performed many years of seva to the Deities, mainly sewing, making jewelry and garlands, and dressing the Deities with much devotion, and practically non-stop.

The daughter that saw the Yamadutas was Lila. She was 13 at the time and said to me, " I've read Srila Prabhupads books and you don't take it all seriously but now I see that it is all reality. After seeing the Yamaduttas I will never perform any sinful activities in my life."

A few days ago My dear brother Yuga Dharma Dasa ( ACBSP ) left this world. He was with his loving family and well wishers from the Three Rivers, Ca. devotee community.

Haribol Prabhu's, I would like to inform the greater Vaisnava ISKCON world of the departure of Yuga Dharma ACBSP. Yuga left his body Thursday, February 14th at 1:21am at his home in Three Rivers, California.

On behalf of Jamalarjuna and Subhangi and our entire family, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all devotees who kindly offerred prayers for Lila's recovery and condolences now that she has passed from our vision.

Please all devotees do not cry for our sweet Ananda Lila, who never truly belonged in this world. She is with her beloved Radha-Shyamasundara and can never suffer again any of the pains and miseries of this world. Krishna has taken her away in a flash, with no prolonged pain.
