CARTA DE MADRE GOPANANDINI QUE COMUNICA QUE MAHARJ DEJÓ EL CUERPO

Date: 21-Oct-02

Fue muy triste para todos los devotos que Somaka Prabhu nos dejo' de este mundo material.
El estaba pasando por un malo y duro momento, en los últimos meses, debido al cancer cerebral.
En este período los devotos siempre lo iban a visitar, mas la esposa no era muy favorable a aceptar la presencia de los vaisnavas.( debido a que maharaj se emocionaba mucho)
Cerca de uma semana atrás , el fue llevado al hospital de emergencia debido que el tenia água em los pulmones (neumonia), pero el viernes los doctores lo ragresaron a la casa de la esposa, pocas horas despues el dejo el cuerpo.
El doctor ( presente en todos aquellos momentos) dijo que nunca vio alguien dejar el cuerpo en una condicion asi de pacifica, tambien la respiracion era lenta y delicada, el noto que Somaka P. no era una persona ordinária.
A pesar de su comportamiento anterior,despues de dejar el cuerpo, ella (su esposa ) se hizo mas favorable (concordo) con los items que los devotos dieron a Somaka Prabhu (ella puso japamala en sus manos y un cuadro de Srila Prabhupada cerca de el, los devotos colocaron guirnaldas en su cabeza, água del Ganges y aceite de Nrsimhadeva de Mayapura en su cuerpo ).
Todo acontecio este domingo en la tarde, cuando los devotos fueron a visitar su casa, cantando japamala, dulces bhajans y apreciando todas sus cualidades y servicio, en frente de su esposa y algunos parientes.
Este fue um momento maravilloso y su esposa parecia apreciar mas a los devotos.
El dia seguiente(lunes) los devotos tambien fueron al funeral católico, esta ceremonia en su nombre fue maravillosa. Los devotos estaban cantando canciones vaisnavas detrás de la procesion y tambien durante su entierro (Sri Guru vandana ). Su esposa estaba siempre presente. Al mismo tiempo, los devotos estaban preparando la ceremonia de Sradda para el todos los templos de Itália y probablemente tambien en sur américa.
Todos nosotros extrañamos su asociacion, su dulce amistad, su amor por Krishna y Srila Prabhupada y los festivales Hare Krishna.
Muchas gracias maharaja
Su sirviente

------------------------------------------------------------
Hare Krishna dear Hridayananda Maharaja, Pamho, atgt SP!
It was sad for all of us devotees that Somaka prabhu left us from this material world.
He had a bad and hard time, the last months, because of his brain cancer.
In that period devotee always was going to visit him, but the wife was not much favorable to accept the presence of Vaisnavas.
About 1 week ago he was brought to the Hospital for emergency because he had water in the polmons (pneumas), but friday the doctors took him back to wife home, few houres before he passed away. The doctor (present in all those moments) said to the wife that he never saw one person passing away in so peaceful condition, also the breath was slow and soft, he notified that Somaka prabhu was not an ordinary people.
In despite of her former behavior, after he passed away she become more favorable (agrees) to more items the devotees gave to Somaka prabhu (i.e.: she put japamala in his hands and S. Prabhupada picture nearby, devotee put garlands on his head and Ganga water Mayapur Nrsmhadeva oil on his body)
All that happened on this Sunday afternoon, when devotees went to visit home, chanting japamala, sweet bhajans and appreciating all his quality and service, in front of his wife and some relatives.
It was a wonderful moment , and his wife appeared more appreciating the devotees.
The day after (monday) devotees went also to funeral Catholic cerimony.
That cerimony was wonderful in his name. Devotees was singing vaisnava songs behind the procession and also in the burial ground (Sri Guru Vandana I) , the wife was always present. In the same time, devotees was preparating Sradda cerimony for him in every temple in Italy and probably also in south America.
We all will miss his association, his sweet friendship, his love for Krishna and Srila Prabhupada and Hare krishna Festivals.
Thanks so much Maharaja.
Your servant Gopanandini d.d
