We called him sick Radhanath. My first service was in taking Radhanath out to distribute books and flowers in his wheelchair. I would drop him off for the lunch time rush and someone would pick up up that evening. He was initiated by Srila Prabhupada. I only knew him from 1978 on and he was in a wheel chair. He would give class occasionally. He would always be upbeat and made many devotee- with his smile and soft preaching abilities. Tamal Krishna Goswami showed him very much respect and thought of him as a very realized devotee.  He would call me about once or twice a year. The phone calls were always very warm-I am not the nicest person to talk with-but he did and would talk about Krishna  and my life. When his father passed away he was left a fair inheritance. He called me and asked what I thought he should do with the money he was left. I  told him to buy a house\/duplex and live in it or rent it. He bought a house near the San Diego temple and told me how much he appreciated that advise. Last time I saw Radhanath prabhu-was at LA rathayatra about 6 years ago. I was pulling Subadra\u2019s cart and he was rushed up to me. He was so happy to see me and gushed with Krishna consciousness. I was taken back- he had no legs. He told me he had them cut off as they were causing him illness.  Then he changed the subject and talked about me and Krishna and what I was doing. Many things made Radhanath so special-his preaching-constantly going out on book distribution in his dire physical predicament.  His mastery of  the Krishna consciousness philosophy and ability to speak it so wonderfully soft. His warmth and not making others uptight. He knew his condition bothered me \u2013so he would only be with me for short periods.<br \/>\n I know he is back with Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n<p>Your servant, Pandava vijaya dasa<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Srutadeva dasa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Radhanatha das Brahmacari, the stalwart sankirtana devotee of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s transcendental army passed away on Wednesday night, October 24, at 8:22pm.  He was surrounded by his loving friends and admirers who were chanting the Holy Names with great love and affection.  Today, Friday morning at 10:00am, amidst more kirtan and prayers, puja was performed at the crematorium and then his broken body was placed in the fire never to cause him suffering again.  <\/p>\n<p>Hare Krishna.  <\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/photosofRadhanathaprabhuonskpseptgggg2006.thumbnail.jpeg' alt='' \/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/photosofRadhanathaprabhuonskpsept2006.thumbnail.jpeg' alt='' \/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/photosofRadhanathaprabhuonskps006.thumbnail.jpeg' alt='' \/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/photosofRadhana06.thumbnail.jpeg' alt='' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/photofvg2006.jpeg\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\" \/><strong>By Pandava vijaya dasa and Srutadeva dasa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> One of the best devotees ever-left his body last night 10\/24\/07- Radhanath dasa of San Diego.
