Gopiparanadhana prabhu (ACBSP) leaves this world

Gopi paranadhana prabhu

Sept 15 2011 Vrindavan, India — “I just received the most disturbing news that our Godbrother, Gopiparanadhana prabhu left his body a few hours ago here in Govardhan. I don’t know anything else but am headed over there now and will meet Pancagauda prabhu and others. I will report more as soon as I know…
I’ve just returned from his house, which is next door to Iskcon Govardhan Mandir. I will give a short report here and in the comment below as told by his wife. He was seen early in the morning and was ‘fine’. One devotee was waiting for an hour to see him. When he finally got in his place he found him lying on the floor and probably been there for a few hours…..

His wife told me that he had just returned from the Polish festival and in two days he was going to China. Krsna arranged for him to leave his body here, at his home in Govardhan. She told me yesterday a black snake came up to the door and Gopi simply closed the door on it. She sees it as Krsna’s messenger. It certainly could have been an asthma attack but no analysis has been done yet as the police hadn’t yet arrived.
His body was almost straight on the floor of his room. He was lying on his back and would be in a dandavat position with his left side facing Govardhan Hill. I was his first Godbrother in the room and after a few minutes chanted Nrsingha prayers. Looking around his small room I saw the following on his desk. A framed picture with the following words:
“Do not hear from mouths of persons lacking proper conduct. If your conduct is below par you should not publicly preach about the Lord. Close the door and preach to yourself. Bhajan really begins when one’s outside and inside are the same.”
Also on his desk was a large copy of Upanisadbhasyam and two books in Chinese, at least one of them was a Chinese/English Dictionary.”

Hrimati Dasi: I just heard from one of his desciples that he probably had an asthma attack and could not get enough oxygen. They found him at 9:00 am. At that time his body was all blue and cold already.

Vrndavana Lila Virginia: I just heard HH Bhakti Caru Swami saying that he passed away due to asthma attacks which he’s been suffering since childhood.

    H H Lokanath Swami: Just now returned at 7:00 PM from the funeral ceremony of our beloved Godbrother Sriman Gopiparanadhana Prabhu at Govardhana. They bade his body at about 3:00 PM; offered bhoga and arati to him and with the kirtan procession carried his body on the Govardhana Parikrama marg, passed by Manasi Ganga, to the cremation place. Many local residents, especially in the first beginning stretch, were stepping out of their shop or home and offering their humble respect to him.
    At the cremation place they laid down his body on cow dung patties, of course from the cows of Vraja. They put more patties on the side and the top until his body was fully covered. His teenage son was the first one to light the funeral fire. After that I also lit the fire and many others did this.
    The cool and gentle breeze was flowing from the Kusum Sarovar’s side which was helping in fanning the fire. While kirtan was going on we started circumambulating the fire. Suddenly it started to rain gently, which was amazing and auspicious.
    There were about 100 devotees, Prabhus and Matajis, in attendance. Several senior devotees were present, like Sruta Kirti Prabhu, Panca Gaura Prabhu, Kratu Prabhu, Radha Raman Swami, Janardana Prabhu, etc. Devotees traveled from nearby places, especially from New Delhi.
    In the past Gopiparanadhana Prabhu had disclosed his will in person to his wife that his ashes to be put in Samadhi at the foothill of Govardhana, across the ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Ashram Govardhana project, next to Padmalochan Prabhu’s Puspa Samadhi.
    Tomorrow morning, 16th September, at 8:00 AM his remembrance and glorification has been scheduled in Krishna Balarama temple in Vrindavan. Anyone who would like to share their memories/glories of Gopiparanadhana Prabhu could send it to my email account: lokanath.swami@pamho.net
    Whatever will arrive by that time, we will share that with the assembled devotees.
    There will be a feast in honor of Gopiparanadhana Prabhu. Gopal Krishna Maharaja has offered to sponsor the feast.
    His Grace Gopiparanadhana Prabhu Ki Jaya.
    Your servant, Lokanath Swami

  2. PADA:
    “Yep, here is another guy who says Srila Prabhupada’s books are full of mistakes, and he and his main associate Jayadvaita need to correct all these mistakes. See the “Youtube” video below where he describes the need to re-edit all of Srila Prabhupada’s books. OK, this fellow was also a supporter of the illicit sex with men, women and children ISKCON messiah’s project. So this is very good news indeed, another big cheer leader of the molester messiahs / book editors project has gotten out of the way of the sincere devotees. Yes, even these fools who block the road to God are eventually taken away by the grace of God Almighty. Incidentally, he is pals with Bhurijana and the other folks who created all the molesting in the ISKCON schools. Sharks of a feather flock together. Lets hope more of these molester messiah cheerleaders / editors of the holy books of God / start departing more and more together. Hee hee! ys pd”

    Man proposes, God disposes. You vow, God moves.
    Looks like our position is simply to spread the Holy Name and everything else is taken care of by the Lord.

    Or, as Prabhupada puts it, “Because we see everything Krishna’s. If there is problem, it is Krishna’s problem. Why my problem? Krishna can know how to solve problem. So we have no problem practically. Krishna’s problem. Krishna will see to it. Just like Arjuna was encouraged that nimitta-matram bhava savyasacin. “You don’t worry about your victory. I have already arranged.” So we should have such faith and conviction and let us try. Let us do very sincerely and seriously. Then everything Krishna will do. I haven’t got to do anything.”

    In sum, thats what we have at present, after 35 years, problems which cannot be solved by man. Obviously, it is not our business to solve problems. Vaishnava business is to cooperate and do what is orderd to do by Prabhupada, and everything else will be taken care of. At least for those who believe in God.
    All glories to your service!
