A visit to Rajani Priya Dasi (Rose Forkash) (Album of photos)
\nRose Forkash was initiated by Giriraj Swami and given the name Rajani-priya dasi at 94 years of age.
\nGiriraj Swami: Yesterday eight of us\u2014Kuntidevi, Lavanga Manjari, Nanda Kishore, Kandarpa Manjari (his wife), Gopal (their son), Srimati (their daughter), Jivan Mukta, and I\u2014visited Rajani Priya Dasi (Rose Forkash) at Mission Terrace Convalescent Hospital, where she is staying temporarily. She was as Krishna conscious as ever and told us how she is getting staff, patients, and visitors to chant Hare Krishna. She explains the philosophy behind it and gives them pieces of paper with the maha-mantra written on it\u2014and she takes great pleasure in seeing them chant.<\/p>\n

Before I left, she blessed me, saying, \u201cMay you live a long life\u2014as long as or longer than me\u2014in good health, so you can chant Hare Krishna and deliver your important message to many more people.\u201d<\/p>\n

On September 15, Rajani Priya will turn 99.<\/p>\n

I will be leaving for Texas tomorrow and retuning in two months, and I look forward to meeting her again when I return\u2014back in Carpinteria.<\/p>\n

Hare Krishna.
