Please join us in prayers for my dear friend and Godbrother, HH Bhakti Vrajendra Nandan Maharaja, President of ISKCON Malaysia, who just left his body this morning in Sri Jagannatha Mandir, Kuala Lampur. He has been suffering from very ill health for a long time now. Previously, he had been the Temple Commander in Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Mandir, Vrindavan. Maharaja did extensive preaching in Malaysia and will be sorely missed.

All glories to HH Bhakti Vrajendra Nandan Maharaja. I knew him from Kolkatta in late 1970s and early 1980s.
I am curious as to why they are cremating a sannyasi. I thought that for them burial in a samdhi is the protocol.
