While Priya Sakhi Prabhu has been assisting many devotees in the Vrindavan area for some time with various medical needs, she recently assisted in the passing on of a Vraj resident – a first for her at the Temporary Vrindavan Hospice. The devotee, Vani Seva Prabhu, had been residing in Vrindavan for about 6 or 7 years and had just returned home a few days prior from a trip abroad when she suffered a massive heart attack. Doctors at the local hospital confirmed the heart attack and encouraged her to rest and sleep, but she stayed awake instead and prepared to leave her body. A tape of Srila Prabhupada chanting japa was playing while Priya Sakhi and others talked to her about Srimati Radharani. After about 5 hours, she opened her eyes and mouth wide, not in fear, but as though surprised. Priya Sakhi placed tulasi and Nrsimhadeva oil from Mayapur on her, and she exhaled her last breath as Sri Radha’s name was being chanted loudly. She was later cremated and a feast was held in her honor, sponsored by another local devotee.
Though Krishna Kumari dd, who helped prepare for the cremation, advised Priya Sakhi to rest for two days afterwards, it is the season for fevers, infections, and the flu, and our dedicated Priya Sakhi continued on with her service of tending to the needs of devotees in Vrindavan. May Krishna bless her for her dedicated service as He has certainly blessed Vani Seva, who left her body so peacefully in His holy land on His beloved Srimati Radharani’s Appearance Day.
Actually it was her daughter Nandimukhi who sponsored the feast. And Nandimukhi told me at the last moment her mother was crying that I’m missing Radharani’s abhishek. I want to see Radharani’s abhishek. And then she opened her eyes wide as if seeing something wonderful. It took a moment or two before they realized that she had left. Perhaps she did see something wonderful, the abhishek in Goloka Vrindavan.
AGTSP PAMHO I unser this after actually talking with Dina bandu prabhu and telling him the whole hiostory.I just whant to splain the whole situation being me the person

Vani Seva in the car goin to the hospital told abaut her diserir to go to Vrndavana parikrama and to Radharanis Abisheka .In the moment of her departure she was tolking to the doctor who was puting questions an her . We where chanting Radhikas name and S Prabhuipada was chanting japa like it has being said she open her eyes in surprise and her mouth wide open whanting to chnt the holy name she did not make it but we were doing it for here then she left so peacfully. She never complain or look like being in disters or pain she was all the time peacfull only compleining abaot pain in the back and dificulty in breathing it was wonderfull to see how the devotees death is a peacfull situation without the stress and pain and fear that normally you cand see in athers persons deaths.Also very auspicus and wonderfull was the fact that she arrive in Vrndavna the 28 of agost and the 1 of september Radhastamy sheleft this world .She was very dear to the devotees here having done multiple services like padayatra preaching and distribuiting books also she was dificult to folow even by yonger devotees she had such energie for serving Krsna. When she live in Vrndavna she was doing vrndavana parikrama evryday .So let me pray to Srimati Vani Seva for her bleasings for me to become atach to Srimati Radharani and Vrndavna Dhama .
All Glories to Srimaty Vaniseva
Yours in the service of the vaisnavas
