Madan Mohan Madhav Das- New Rajapur Jagannath Dham Bangalore

 1.  In 2009, we were doing Mangal Aarati, in every grihast's house. Even though he was staying 15 to 20  kms away from us, in a Brahmachari Ashram, he was coming to join us, not to attend Mangal Aarati but to teach us how to grow in Krishna Consciousness. One day, while coming in pitch dark colony, there being power cut, he was bitten by a street dog, I thought, from the next few days he will not come but he came just after a day. I realised that he was not in bodily state.

2. Before my shelter, once he came to my house, without intimating us, to attend Mangal Aarati. After Arati, he put neck beads around my neck. My wife asked him, "Prabhuji, he is in Arm's y, so it will be difficult for him to manage prasad". He replied, Mj human life is uncertain, why to wait for the good day to come. We will make the days good for us". So, he is the one who not only made my life good by bringing me to Krishna Consciousness but all the members of my family.

3. Once, he was admitted in Columbia Asia Hospital in Bangalore for treatment of some serious stomach pain. At around 3 am, he had dropped a message to me that"as soon as you see the message, please call Vrinda (his wife)". I don't know, whether it Krishna's arrangements or what, I woke up at 3.5 am and saw the message and immediately called Mj. She told, "pr is in serious condition and admitted in Columbia Asia hospital ". I informed others and devotees rushed to hospital. Devotees were bringing fruits for him, whereas he was distributing to others and telling that "please take for Jagannath". After discharged from hospital, instead of going back to home, he went to attend a programme.

4. Once a programme was scheduled in Whitefield. While going in a two wheeler, the vehicle was skidded and he fell down and injured. Blood was coming out. A devotee came to the spot to take him to hospital but he denied to go rather went to the program, hiding his blood stains.

5. One month before Vyasa puja, he will call me and tell, "pr, please help each and every devotee of RT Nagar to type their feelings in English" . He will sit till midnight and make me sit. I forward the draft offering letters to him. He corrects each and every letter. Now I am feeling that because of him, every year myself and my family members have been able to send our offerings to Gurudev. Such a good habit he imbibed in me. I have hope that still he will guide me from tGolok.

6. To preach in Odia language, he was taking me to Penia Jagannath temple. One day, after program, we were taking prasad together. One vegetable was more spicy. I told him, "pr if it is spicy for you, please leave it". He told, it is Jagannath Prasad. How can I leave it ". He asked for some sugar to add and honoured the prasad.

7. In 2014, his marriage ceremony was being celebrated in Sridham Mayapur. I had the opportunity of attending the same. Generally during marriage bridegrooms decorate themselves. Instead of decorating himself, he had decorated the Rajapurdham. Temple was newly painted. Deities were decorated with fresh flower garlands. He lavishly spent for the Lordships and devotees by serving sumptuous prasadam zof so many varieties. 

8. Around 50 relatives and friends from Odisha had come to attend the marriage ceremony. Myself, being an Odia, and little aged, he had told me to look after them in such a way, so that they will not disrespect the Vaishnavs and by that avoid 'Vaishnav apradh'. If he will be with them, they will take him as a normal youngman of their village. So I learnt from him that how tactically he handled the situation as per sastra and save others at the same time by not commiting any offence.

9. One day, around 10 pm in night, he called and told that "tomorrow morning I am leaving for Odisha. So want some garments for Jagannath. Since we have Jagannath deities and my wife was stitching dresses for the Lord, he came and we happily gave a set of dress for the Lord.

I have many practical experiences with him. To make it short, just I put a few.

I am sure, he has left for Golak and definitely help me from there even though I am not fit. If I will get a chance, I will say some more feelings towards this great personality, so that I will be satisfied to some extent. I have many sweet memories, which I will give for compilation of book in his memory, so that I will be happy, cherishing the valuable association with such a great soul.

From the core of my heart,

Hare Krishna and dandavat pranam to Anadi Jagannath Prabhu

Prema Padmini dd - ISKCON Koramangala

 Dear Anadi Jagannath prabhu, it was really shocking to know that you are no longer with us on the physical plane. Such a strong pillar in Krishna Consciousness for ISKCON.  I have known you from your early years in Krishna Consciousness as you were part of Chaitanya Avatari prabhu's group.  You have always been so sincere, service minded, humble and caring for devotees, submissive and very loyal.

You used to take care of the Brahmachari ashram so nicely those days.Your dedication was exemplary.In later years, ofcourse your preaching blossomed. Your dedicated personal service to Guru Maharaja is also praise worthy.

In recent years your extraordinary services at the Seshadripuram Temple is something  everybody noticed and appreciated. Ofcourse you must have been qualified to go back to Godhead and so Krishna took you away, but it is certainly ly a big loss for Srila Prabhupada's movement. No wonder everyone loves you.I beg you to continue caring for us all from the spiritual world.

Your servant,
Prema Padmini dd


Vijay Venugopal Dasa from Bengaluru

Have known Anadi Jagannath Prabhu from the time he was a new devotee called Amarnath,  in the congregation of Caitanya Avatari Prabhu.

Even then he was a sincere and loving devotee. My son Ananth lived for some time with him in a Brahmachari ashrama in Wilson Garden area of Bengaluru.  He has many dear memories of him.

We were very happy when he got another wonderful devotee as his wife, Vrinda Maharani. We had also met her in her young age when we stayed with Dr Shanti Rupa mataji in Kuala Lumpur.

Both were always in smiles whenever we met them. He was always busy serving someone, and help expand the preaching of ISJM, Seshadripuram tremendously. 

I never heard him say a single negative thing about anyone; I never heard anyone say anything against him.

His Throwback Thursday was a favourite program for me. He knew so many dear disciples of GM all over the world, and he knew how to encourage them to delve deep into their memories of meeting GM.

O Krishna,  why do you take away the best devotees to Your pastimes? You have all eternity with them. We just ask for a few decades association with such rare devotees.

Anadi Jagannath Prabhu,  Please don't forget me. Please recommend my name to Srimati Radharani to join you at the end of this life.

Vrinda Maharani Mataji, Shantirupa Mataji and family, may Krishna give you the strength to live in separation from Anadi Jagannath Prabhu. 

With love and sorrow, 

Your servant,

 HG Anadi Jagannath Prabhu was a great devotee. He was a great preacher, carried the preaching mood of our beloved spiritual master HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj. He was very accommodative in nature and inspired everyone towards the common goal of our Gaudiya Vaishnava parampara to connect more and more people to Krishna. He was a genuinely humble devotee. His vaishnava etiquettes drew appreciation and admiration from the juniors, peers, and seniors alike.

Although I don't have any doubt about his ultimate destination, it will remain a great loss at personal level and largely to our preaching movement.

Keshavgopal das - Bangalore

 "I came in contact with HG Anadi Jagannath prabhu in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at prabhu's wedding. Prabhu got married to HG Vrinda mataji daughter of HG Shantirupa Mataji in Kuala Lumpur temple. Shantirupa mataji is a well known figure in Kuala Lumpur congregation and inspiring motherly figure. I came to know that Anadi prabhu was chosen as a groom for Vrinda mataji by HH Jayapataka Maharaja. This itself speak volumes about prabhu's devotional qualification.

I met prabhu next when I got shifted to Banglaore for my assignment. Prabhu was very quick to connect with me and invited me to attend his bhakti vriksha program in Sahakarnagar.  He invited me to his place and Seshadari puram temple as well. When I visited the temple he took nice personal care for me.

Once he visited my home as well to attend a satsang program. He encouraged me to organize more such programs.

Prabhu was very devoted, sincere, soft-spoken, hard-working devotee who always had a missionary mood to serve the guru-parampara in ISKCON. We have lost a enthusiastic and committed soldier in Srila Prabhupada's army. I sincerely pray for Prabhu's spiritual well-being and that the Supreme Lord due to His unlimited causeless mercy take him under His loving shelter."

 I'm indebted to Prabhuji for all the guidance and support he has extended to me and my family during my mothers illness n demise  This blessed soul did enable my bedridden mother to have darshan from ISKON Sheshadripuram  From his counsel I understood the importance of reading the specific chapters from Bhagavad Gita to her, keeping tulsi beads on her body, and giving her Tulsi Jal every day.  He had explained the difficult journey of the soul to leave the body and how to let her hear only the Mahamantra her last moments.  I sincerely wish I could take his counsel further on how to walk on the spiritual path without fail My prayers for his soul to rest at His lotus feet

 Hare Krishna Dandavat Pranam. 

All Glories to HDG Srila Prabhupad and Gurumaharaj.

I still can’t believe the untimely demise of HG Anaadi Jaganath Prabhu. We met him last Sunday evening program and blessed with his Jaganath pastime lecture. Had a very blissful Sankirthan, danced and jumped together singing the bhajans and keerthans. We also connected on Thursday on throwback Thursday program and were looking forward to meet him today evening during the Sunday evening program. 

I first met HG Anaadi Jaganth Prabhu in ISKCON Sheshadripuram temple had a brief discussion and introduction. Later for various reasons, we did not meet for almost 5-6months, when we met again in temple, he remembered my name which made me feel very good. Such a senior devotee, meeting so many different devotees as well as engaged in multiple temple service, remembering an insignificant person like me made an instant connect within which can’t be explained. 

Since then, I use to keep in touch with him for various temple programs and for clarifying my questions in this spiritual path. Every time I met him, I use to feel a divine experience, his humility, caring every devotee who visit temple, always smiling face and never dying attitude to serve Gurumaharaj and Srila Prabhupad always stood out and use to give me lot of inspiration.

Not sure why, today morning I thought of Anaadi Jaganath prabhu and wanted to discuss about Janmashtami celebrations when I meet him in the evening. I am really shocked to know and not able to come to terms that we will not meet him again in this material world.  He is such a nice devotee, may be this material world is not for him. Only solace I am getting is, we all are struggling in this material world under the influence of material nature and trying get purified and qualified to go back home, may be HG Anaadi Prabhu is already purified and qualified and Krishna took him back home. 

As a neophyte devotee, who has just started the spiritual journey and association of devotees, it is a greatest and irreplaceable loss, I have many unanswered question to the Supreme lord about his protection to his sincere devotees, but I am no way qualified and yield to Supreme lords plans. My only wish and prayers to Guru and Gauranga is to give our beloved HG Anaadi Prabhu the Transcendental peace, take him to his Eternal Abode and engage in supreme lords service eternal under the shelter of HDG Srila Prabhupad. I wish to end my homage with prayers to supreme lord to give strength to his family as well as all those devotees who have been closely associated with him for many years in this this Krishna Consciousness movement. OM Shanti. Hari OM Tat Sat.

All glories to Guru,Srila Prabhupada and Guaranga!!!.

HG Anadi Jagannath prabhuji is one of my wonderful Siksha guru.He encouraged me to preach for the pleasure of Guru, Srila Prabhupada and Gauranga.

I used to serve in Sahakar Nagar Bhakti sadan under the guidance of HG Anadi Jagannath prabhuji.During Corona time, prabhuji came up with the wonderful initiative called "Gita Gyan".
He engaged me in all Gita Gyan activities from Batch1,like taking sessions in Telugu, preparing english ppts, preparing contents for slides, translating English ppts to Telugu.Recently he also engaged me in training the new teachers for Level 1 and Level 2 sessions.

During Gita Gyan journey,i had observed many wonderful Vaishnava qualities in him....He was always very humble,never takes credit for anything and always cares for each and every devotee.His aim is just to get as many as souls near to Guru and Krishna.Always remembers each and every devotee by name and appreciates even though that person did 0.00001percent task.Always encourages every devotee and exactly identifies the good qualities in any devotee and engages them accordingly in various activities.
He cares for each and every participant in Gita Gyan.Also he came up with new initiatives like Gita Gyan Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,Srila Prabhupada book reading sessions, Narasimha katha,Ratha Katha,Rama Katha,Gaura katha,Krishna katha,Morning Bhagavad Gita 15minutes sessions and weekly Srimad Bhagavatham Canto 1 sessions( in many languages).By all these wonderful initiatives,many participants of Gita Gyan got benefitted.And also the Gita Gyan teachers got benefitted by teaching and also their dedication and surrender towards Guru,Srila Prabhupada and Gauranga increased manyfolds.

Thank so much HG Anadi Jagannath prabhuji,you are just not only my God brother....you are my well wisher and Siksha guru.Thank you for everything.Thank you so much for engaging me in preaching service.I am always indebted to you prabhuji.

 HG Anadi Jagannath pr ji service to SJM is very much to be appreciated. His desire to see the desires of Guru Maharaj being fulfilled is just too good
Prji was the one who took the initiative to drive many many Gita courses in multiple languages engaging soo many devotees , inspiring devotees to do courses like Bhaktishastri Bhaktivaibhav,etc and he himself was doing them also.
Prji would ask wonderful questions in Bhaktivaibhav class and we all would relish
Prjis care for each and every devotee in the movement, ensuring that everyone is happy - Prji is a personification of Vaishnava seva and Jiv daya.
Prji has with full body mind words pleased HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj. 
He's under the control of the lord and lord knows what's best for prji , but I deeply feel separation from such a wonderful Vaishnava.
I will try to serve prji by following instnof Gurudev ys

 Hare Krishna, All glories to Guru and Gauranga. I first met HG Anadi Jagannath prabhuji and Vrnda mataji in Ranachor prabhuji house in the year 2010 or 2012.He was talking very softly and humbly with smiling face. Then when ever I use to meet in temple he speaks very nicely. I was surprised to see such a senior devotee rembering us and talking. Then during covid time I got the opportunity to serve along with Anadi prabhu and Vrnda mataji in taking GITA GYAN CLASS for kids and adults. He such a great devotee that he gave us training and material to teach children. Really it's a great opportunity for me to get his association. He teaches us very sweetly in humours way,. He never gets angry, do service 24/7 all 365 days. Such a enthusiastic devotee serving Gurumaharaj physically and mentally,.. Its a great great loss for us. I could not take this tragedy passing away. Only lord can give answer for this.we lost a good mentor, well wisher, preacher and wonderful Vaishnava. Hare Krishna.

 "Hare Krishna,

 Anadi Jagannaath Prabhu was a very dedicated, tolerant, knowledgeable, hardworking, blissful devotee. We were associated with Prabhuji for the past 16 years. He took first Krishna conscious children program in our house in the month of July in 2006.. We were really inspired to see him connect with children and explain in a simple way. The children programs continued.

 Anadi prabhu took Bhakti Vriksha programs in our house in Spandhana. He inspired us in taking up Krishna consciousness seriously and explained how Gita can be implemented in daily lives. 

He explained to us how we can balance our personal and Krishna conscious life. He was a practical example of a blissful devotee. He inspired me to take initiation and conduct Children programs, Bhakti Vriksha programs, Damodar Aarti programs at different houses, schools, temples and Gita books distribution . Feel very sad to have lost my Godbrother."


Amarendra Mukunda Dasa - Bangalore

 Hare Krishna!
Dandvat Pranams!

Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is one of those amazing persons with whom any and every moment spent is memory and every memory is beautiful.
From the day I met him when Prabhu was a Bramhacari to the last day of online class, Prabhu was an amazing personality. 
Always pleased and smiling which would automatically bring a smile in a person.
More than a decade back while working in an IT company in Bangalore, after having completed the work shift in the evening, while waiting for a cab, Prabhu asked me If I would want some Jagannath’s Prasadam. I said “Yes” and then Prabhu handed me a big heavy bag full of Lord Jagannath’s Khaja Prasad. Probably 5-7 KG or more. Prabhu had brought it for another person who that day didn’t come to office.
I expected it to be something which would be like regular Prasad for one person for one day. 
So eventually I took some from it and rest we handed it over to another Mataji from Orissa.
Prabhu was like a wish fulfilling tree of devotional services for all devotees He met or knew.
If I think of Bangalore I certainly think of ISJM and when I think of ISJM I can’t think of not meeting Anadi Jagannath Prabhu.
They are inseparable.
Sometimes it is OK if we don’t meet very good friends for years because we know them to be our well-wishers and that they are there. 
And that when ever we meet them again it will be as fresh as meeting them a few minutes back. Smiling and exchanging pleasantries.
But if that friend is a devotee and when we find that they have left the material world and we won’t be meeting them here then the very thought and every moment is very painful. Only the good memories from that precious association remain.
I would have liked to ask this question to Anadi Prabhu that this phenomenon of the material world is very strange. 
If we don’t associate with devotees it is not good for spiritual advancement but if we associate with them then we certainly develop attachment to them. And if they leave then how can we achieve the state of equanimity and equipoised-ness which Lord Krishna want us to be in.
Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is one of the most compassionate, merciful persons one could have ever met in their life. 
Prabhu never got upset or angry with any one. A good listener and would always lend helping hand to any devotee.
Always engaging everyone in devotional service. Always teaching by setting a perfect example. Prabhu Walked the Talk.
Always practicing and following the instructions of Guru, Sadhu and Shastras.
When ever you see Anadi Prabhu He was always absorbed in devotional service, day and night.
Teaching and preaching the message of Guru and Scriptures.
Prabhu started many programs, like Throwback Thursdays, Gita-Gyan Level 1, 2, and 3 and many more.
He would teach each and every new preacher all the details of the presentation slides. He would answer all the questions.
Giving Srimad Bhagvatam discourses in temple. Watching Prabhu gave immense pleasure.
To me it was surprising that everyday he would sleep late, giving class or preparing devotional presentation and yet wake up early in the morning for chanting or Gita-Gyan training sessions. 
Prabhu is known to be enthusiastic in preaching and devising new ways to reach out to large number of people. 
Prabhu was also a wonderful instructor for the Bhakti Shastri program. A good listener, always sweet in words and soft spoken, very pleasant person, and would eagerly answer any questions related to scriptures.
Like Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj, Anadi Prabhu strongly believed in serving the mission of Guru and Gauranga.
He was a true Benchmark for practicing devotees.
Recently in the Bhakti Shastri Class on Wednesday, Anadi Prabhu mentioned that one needs to be in peace and harmony with everyone to practice pure devotional service. He said that else if one reaches Goloka and then quarrels with Manjiris then it would not be favourable for Goloka spiritual atmosphere.
Prabhu till the last minute was engaged in devotional service. He had delivered Prasadam to a devotee in hospital. After completing His Seva, Anadi prabhu left the material world and went to Goloka.
Last year I had met Prabhu for the Vrindavana and Kurukshetra Yatra and had blissful time there in association of Prabhu and other devotees.
I was looking forward to meet Prabhu in Vrindavana Yatra but Prabhu left for Goloka Vrindavana.
Anandi Jagannath Prabhu left the material world for the Spiritual world. He has taken a piece of my heart with Him and left a void here.
Now His Transcendental instructions and sweet voice from His wonderful association will always be here with me.
I remember Prabhu as an unconditional and true well wisher of mine.
Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is an irreplaceable role model of a pure devotee. Inspiration for all devotees.
I pray to Lotus Feet of Anadi Jagannath Prabhu that He remembers us all in Goloka Vrindavana and puts in a good word for us to the Lord.

All Glories to HG Anadi Jagannath PrabhuJi, All glories to Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj, All Glories to Srila Prabhupad.

 Hare Krishna . My respectful humble obeisances to our dear HG Anadi Jagannath Prabhu. All glories to HG Anadi pr and Guru and Gauranga.

He is the most humble,  kind and sincere person I ever met.. this is really heart breaking and very painful. He was my mentor, my Shiksha guru, brother who always helped and guided me. He was a very good mentor through out Gita Gyan program. Because of him only I started preaching the Gita Gyan classes. His devotee care and service attitude is unparalleled. Unfortunately my father in law is admitted in hospital since long time and yesterday his health got detoriated. So I sent a message to Prabhu to pray for my father in law. Prabhuji called and told me he will come to hospital in evening and meet. HG Anadi pr and HG Subahu Mukunda pr came to hospital with the prasadam. Even he chanted mahamantra and told me he will send the picture of Narashimha dev and maha mantra machine and advised to put in his bed side. And the morning I came to know this heart breaking news. It's totally a shock to me. A big loss to Iskcon. We lost a great mentor. We will miss you Anadi Prabhu. May Sri Sri Radha Kunja Bihari give you shelter on their lotus feet and you celebrate the Janmashtami in Goloka Vridavan. May lord Krishna give strength to Vrinda Mataji and his family to cope the situation. I am really very sorry Vrinda Mataji.

A wonderful devotee who inspired others to serve Krishna by preaching the BG especially to young children.The Gita gyan program which prabhuji initiated reached hundreds of children across all places in India and abroad.He was the pillar and strength behind the huge preaching projects for kids,be it Ratha katha,pillar in thriller or gitagyan and he was always encouraging neophytes like me to involve in Krishna's service.His physical absence is a great loss for the devotee community.Krishna just took him away from us as HE felt prabhuji very dearer to HIM.But iam still unable to come in terms with this news.Prabhuji will be missed and I pray to Lord Krishna to give e us and his family strength to bear the physical loss.hare Krishna

Hare Krishna prabhuji
Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
HG Anadi Jagannath pr was one of the few devotees who had this amazing combination of Siddhanta, Sadachar and SevaBhava.
He would connect with each of the devotees in a different way and always encouraged devotees to grow more.
I personally remember a few years back when I had participated in a Harinam Sankirtan and that day happened to be my birthday. And when prji came to know about this, he heartily wished me, encouraged me and gifted a book by HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj.
There are more instances like these when he went out of the way to help us in whatever way possible.
Honestly, you were one of the very enthusiastic and inspiring devotees in our congregation. 
Thank you very very much prji for all that you have done for us and we will greatly miss you

 Hg Anadi Jagannath prabhuji was one of the most compassionate soul I have ever seen, whenever he met with any devotee he never failed to touch their hearts. Always wanted to make sure all devotees are very happily situated in their krishna Consciousness. Whenever I went to his home I always found he is taking SB reading online with devotees or he is planning some preaching program.. He always took care of devotees forgetting his own comforts

I remember one incidence, once I went to his home for some work it was just after new year so prabhuji was busy organizing for new year program  and nagar sankirtan. 
I called him he told just wait I'm coming in 5mins, and I was waiting in front of his home 5mins...., 10mins.....  It went over half an hour prji was not coming, now I was getting impatient ... But I comforted myself telling prji must be very busy with services, just then prji call me and he was there in front of me he comes and gave me prasadam and started to talk to me I felt so comfortable and relaxed I forgot that I'm getting late for office...  We talked for a while and I happily left for office forgetting all anxiety... 

There are soo many incidents i want to share , hope some other day I'll share. 

Thank you Anadi Jagannath pr for everything. Definitely u will always be in my heart, I really miss you prabhu. I know you are eternally engaged in service of their Lordships.

 We cannot imbibe even 1% of His qualities. HG Anadi Jagannath prabhu was such a glorious devotee... Whenever I come to temple, I used to ask devotees whether Anadi Jagannath prabhu and Vrinda mataji is in temple...because if I see them I felt very elevated. And protected. I didn't had much conversations with Him. But always felt strongly that He is not ordinary person. He must be from Goloka who has come here to set example... And when I was undergoing difficult times, prabhuji called and said me only 1 line amidst his busy schedule that panchatattva, guru parampara is stronger than your problems. Hold on to them very strongly. This made so much impact on me. He was so humble and always appraoched me, a junior beginner of KC with folded hands showing so much respect... More than much conversations, the way he made me feel has deeper impact on me. Whenever he used to see any good quality in any devotee he was appreciating and magnifyong it and encouraging them...Thankyou Anadi Jagannath prabhu. Your life is so exemplary and glorious. Seeking your blessings to imbibe at least 0.1% of your qualities. All glories to you. You will remain forever in my heart as an example of how a devotee should be and how one should be so determined to serve Guru.

 Anadi Jagannath Prabhuji is very simple with rich heart, when I met Prabhuji in the temple I felt that I should offer more and more dandvat pranam to this person,  I asked tips  for spiritual progress 

Prabhuji told me that just start offer water, fruits, rice ,curd and ghee ,read Prabhupada books regularly. by his blessings same thing is going on very well,   by his blessings I received srimad bhagavatham books.prabhuji is always busy and active in so many works and inspiring others to  engage in seva works, all his classes are wonderful and blissful to hear.

 Hare Krishna , HG Anadi Jagannath prabhu was most lovable devotee in our congregation and he was so loving to all youth's.  He was the one who took my initiation interview and that day I realized he had so much love for Guru Maharaj and wanted everyone to be serious and sincere in serving Guru Maharaj. I was inspired by prabhuji to take morning program sincerely and because of his inspiration,  today I have consistency in morning program . Really bereaved by the fact that today he is not with us .I will miss him a lot . Prabhu has a big place in my heart for his devotee care . Hare Krishna . Prayers for his safe reaching to Goloka Vrindavan .
