Andharupa Dasi ACBSP: Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that our beloved Godsister and dear mentor, Her Grace Saudamani Devi Dasi, has departed this world to return to the eternal shelter of Lord Caitanya.
As a dedicated disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Saudamani Mataji was a pillar of strength and a beacon of devotion for over 50 years. Her life was a masterclass in the “art of remembrance,” as she tirelessly shared her personal realizations and memories of Srila Prabhupada.
Saudamani Mataji was a “Vaishnavi saint” whose presence inspired many to deepen their own devotion. She faced her final days with the same integrity, tolerance, and humor that characterized her life, leaving us with a profound example of how to live and leave this world in pure Krsna Consciousness.
As we offer our humble obeisances at her lotus feet, we pray that she is now joyfully reunited with Srila Prabhupada and her beloved Lords in Goloka Vrindavan.
“He lives forever by his divine instructions, and the follower lives with him.”
Hare Krishna.
