Dear devotees,
Radhe Radhe !
It fills my heart with sorrow as well as joy to aanounce that my dear friend Sadanandi mataji has left fro Golok Dham today early morning 5-30 . Her soul left amidst Harinam sankirtan, and in the presence of her Spiritual Master and other Vaishnavs. She had entered coma two days before, however she opened her eyes just the moment before she left. This proves that the Holy Name has profound impact on the consciousness and how the soul is ever awake and yearning for the Holy Name.
Around three days before she had mailed me from teh hospital. Even in this state she was talking of fulfilling her duty, and how she did not want to leave the world without fulfilling her obligations. She wished to remain indebted. i was wonderstruck with her sense of responsibility and her loving thoughts touched me immensely. i wrote back saying not to worry and that her return home would be the best thing for her friends (like myself). She sounded so normal that at that time i did not think she would really go “home” – to Krishna.
i can not express the pain i feel – my association with her ran so deep that words cannot describe. After the passing of my father, this is the next deep loss. Radhe Radhe.
