In November 2006 he was informed that he had cancer. Efforts to subdue the disease proving futile, he came to Vrindavan to pass away. He was never afraid, nor did he ever complain about the pain and discomfort he experienced as his body declined. His only lamentation was that he could not perform much service in this life.<\/p>\n<p>        The devotees who had attended him, headed by Ananda Vardhana Prabhu and Dr. Avinish, and indeed all who came to visit him in the days before his departure, were inspired by his clear consciousness, sobriety, and firm faith in the mercy and protection of Srila Prabhupada, Lord Krsna, and the Vaisnavas. After his passing no-one felt sad. All were happy in the knowledge of his having passed away so auspiciously, assuring his going back to Godhead.<\/p>\n<p>        Krsna looks after His devotees. Surely those who dedicate their lives to distributing Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s books will attain all auspiciousness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/caitanxselsinki.jpg\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\" \/><strong>By Sankirtan Diary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> The devotees who had attended him, headed by Ananda Vardhana Prabhu and Dr. Avinish, and indeed all who came to visit him in the days before his departure, were inspired by his clear consciousness, sobriety, and firm faith in the mercy and protection of Srila Prabhupada, Lord Krsna, and the Vaisnavas.<!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-in-memoriam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4068\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
