Brahmananda Prabhu Left his Body in Sri Dham Vrindavan - 7th June, 2015

Brahmananda Prabhu Left his body in Sri Dham Vrindavan Gopal Krishna Maharaj informs with great saddness that his dear god-brother Brahmanada Prabhu passed away this afternoon 7th June, 2015 at 3:31 pm IST in his room in Vrindavan Dham. Brahmananda Prabhu is one of the senior disciple of Srila prabhupada. During the early dates of ISKCONs in had helped Srila Prabhupad to preach the message of Chaitanya Maharaprbhu in Africa and Japan. Few devotees named Gargamuni Prabhu, Maha Maya Mataji along with Dr. Ashu, Saranga Thakur Das, Dharmatma Das and other devotees were present when he left his body. Dharmatma Das, a devotee of the ISKCON Vrindavan temple, has been taking care of Brahmananda Prabhu for the past few years. Dharmatma Prabhu called Gopal Krishna Maharaj yesterday to inform that Brahmanada Prabhu’s condition was serious and a local doctor was attending to him. Gopal Krishna Maharaj then spoke to Brahmanada Prabhu on the phone and told him that he would be sending a doctor from Delhi to examine him. Dr. Ashu, who was sent from Delhi, conducted the initial examination and felt his condition was very serious and was of the opinion that he should be moved to the Apollo hospital in New Delhi. Meanwhile, Dr. Krishna Priya from the Delhi temple had spoken to his friend who is a senior doctor in the Apollo hospital for making the necessary arrangements. This afternoon the local devotees in Vrindavan had called the ambulance and were getting ready to bring Brahmananda Prabhu to Delhi. But he collasped before they could take him out of his room and into the ambulance. Maharaj Says Last night when he was on the phone with Brahmananda Prabhu, he suggested that Brahmananda prabhu could come to Delhi to undergo medical tests. But he was very reluctant to the idea of leavining Vrindavan. And Krishna fulfilled his desire to leave his body in Vrindavan Dham and that to on the most auspicious day of Srila Vakresvara Pandit’s appearance day. Saranga Thakur of the Vrindavan temple is now working on obtaning the permissions from the police and US Embassy for his last rites which would probably be performed tomorrow morning.
