Jusaniya Devi Dasi, disciple of Srila Prabhupada left her body.
Dear disciples of Srila Prabhupada,
I am the son of your Godsister Jusaniya Devi Dasi, and I am writing you this message on her account to inform you that in the very early hours of yesterday morning my mother passed from this world, here in Phoenix, due to complications from the cancer she had been struggling with, on and off, for the past six years.
My brother, Yudistira, and myself were at her bedside as she passed, taking her last breaths, with the Holy Names sung softly to her and our prayers and love holding her as best we could.
Jusaniya was kind and warm, with a generous spirit. She was always there to take part in both the joys and sorrows of others, even in the face of personal difficulty. She was such a sincere soul. She continued to work with care to attain and deepen her most authentic spiritual experience and expression of self and love.
I am praying to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada and to the divine couple, Sri Sri Radha Krishna to please accept her and care for her. And I am begging all of you to please, please hold my mother in your prayers and bless her with the strength of your open hearts.
Her Grace Jusaniya Devi Dasi used to write and offer me encouragement and practical advice while I was caring for my aging mother. She was very kind and helpful. All glories to her service. May Krishna and Srila Prabhupada please kindly protect and bless Jusaniya on her spiritual journey back to Godhead.
Dear Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I know neither you nor your brother, but I met your mother in Vrindavan (where I have been living for the past twenty years) when she came with some of her godsisters to plan for the construction and management of the Bhaktivedanta Hospice. I found her to be exactly as you are describing her and I pray to Sri Sri Krishna-Balaram, Sri Sri Radha-Shyamasundar, and Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai that They may take her to Their eternal abode and engage her in her eternal service to Them. I also pray that They may give you the strength to go on in Krishna consciousness without her physical presence.
Your servant,
Visakha Priya dasi
Dear Vaikuntha Prabhu, We are very sorry to hear that your saintly mother has left this world, and pray that you and Yudhisthira are holding up all right. Will you come to Vrindavan to put her ashes in the Yamuna? Please let us know if we can help in any way. Your servant, Daivisakti devi dasi
