Purnachandra Swami<br \/>\nHDG Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s `Disappearence day&#8217; this year in Moscow Russia<br \/>\nwas a heavy sober reminder of spiritual loss to all the devotees in Moscow iskcon. By Lord KRSNAs arrangement an unusual event took place here. There was the celebration of two departures \/ &#8216;disappearence day of devotees&#8217; in iskcon<br \/>\nDisappearances, of Our Beloved Srila Prabhupada and his beloved disciple<br \/>\nmy Godbrother Purnacahndra Swami. The ceremonies were lush and loving with<br \/>\nKirtan&#8217;s,bhajan&#8217;s ,Flowers and Push punjali and artiks and words of appreciations.<br \/>\nHis HH Naranjana Swami and myself were the only two Godbrothers present at<br \/>\nthe ceremony 1st in a huge hall like tent next to the Moscow iskcon temple.<br \/>\nHundreds of Russian devotees attended the days and evenings ceremonies.<br \/>\nThe ceremonies took place at 2 separate places and times, HH Purnacahndra Swami&#8217;s, emotional and somber ceremony took place in the start of the day<br \/>\n in the morning and Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s in the afternoon and evening. This was necessary as Maharaj&#8217;s body had to be cremated the same day. So it happened that two intense emotional spiritual loss experience&#8217;s took place on the same day.Thats a rare event in iskcon anywhere.                                                                          A few&#8217;s word about H.H.~Purnachandra Swami~<br \/>\nHe spend many of his later years in iskcon preaching in the former Soviet Union, Moscow in particular. I personally knew him for many years and I will miss him. I was always so happy to have his kind friendship, humble and genuine association, Purnachandra Swami really cared about his Godbrothers and Godsisters  and  lived his life for serving and helping the devotees and later in his life serving the Russian iskcon devotees. He was an wonderful example for us all.<br \/>\nPurna chandra was attached to no material things,only the holy names of GOD  HARE KRSNA Maha Mantra and to Srila Prabhupads iskcon and its devotees,<br \/>\nHe was attached to following Srila Prabhupads instructions to the letter.<br \/>\nMaharaj was attached to preaching, encouraging book distribution and massive Hari Nams in Moscow to all the Russian devotees and he lead the example.<br \/>\nHis personal example of real humility and real dedication to Srila Prabhupada<br \/>\nand Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s iskcon society and its devotees ,is a shining example<br \/>\nof a true Prabhupada man and he will be dearly missed by his Godbrothers and Godsisters and disciples and Russian devotees who knew him.<br \/>\nPosted here is His Last Darshan.
