Casper the llama, a humble servant of Lord Chaitanya’s movement left his body for a higher birth.
Caru: We lost Casper last night. He’d suffered from a stomach ailment for about two weeks: cholic, or perhaps he ate oleander (poisonous to llamas) on his last pack trip. Vaibhavi worked hard to save him, but he went just after sunset. Casper served the temple for about 16 years, giving visitors pleasure, entertaining children, and going on dozens of pack trips for hundreds of miles. His pain is finished and we wish him God Speed.
Vaibhavi: The dedication & stoicism of llamas is such an example. Casper never faltered. May we all learn to serve thus!
