Dear Prabhu Jees and Maatha Jees,
Hare Krishna ! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to all the Vaishnavas.
My profound gratitude to you all for your precious prayers for the departing Vaishnavi – HG Narayani Priya Devi Dasi Maathaa jee – mother of Pallavi.
Today, our dear Radha and Krishna have blessed HG Narayani Priya Devi Dasi Maathaa Jee with a glorious departure from this world. She has left the body today in the early hours – at 00.20 Hours (Midnight 12.20) in Sri Vrindavan Dhaam, in the glorious Bhaktivedanta Hospice, in the most auspicious spiritual environment, immediately after sipping the holy Tulasi jala.
Her final rites are being performed today in a couple of hours time, in Vrindavana itself by her son.
Today is the auspicious and divine appearance day of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvathi Thakur – the spiritual master of Srila Prabhupada and the disappearance day of Srila Gour Govinda Swami Maharaj – a glorious disciple of Srila Prabhupada.
By the sheer causeless mercy of our dear Radha and Krishna and all the Guru Parampara alone, against all odds and defying all the rules of medical science, she could reach Vrindavan safely – all the way from Bangalore – it is a miracle by itself – and day before yesterday, in the ambulance, she did the Parikrama of Giri Govardana, yesterday she did Vrindavana Parikrama, had the divine darshan of Sri Sri Radha Shyam Sundar, Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Gour Nitai in our ISKCON Vrindavan temple, in the late evening.
Day before yesterday, our beloved Guru Maharaja – HH Radhanath Swami Maharaja – has initiated her and blessed her with her spiritual name : Narayani Priya Devi Dasi.
There was ecstatic Keerthana in the Bhaktivedanta Hospice by various senior disciples of Srila Prabhupada, and a senior Maathaa Jee disciple of Srila Prabhupada gave Narayani Priya Devi Dasi the final sponge bath yesterday.
Amazingly, Narayani Priya Maaathaa Jee received such an untold and immeasurable mercy in the last 2 days of her this life. Our dear Radha and Krishna have sent Prasadam garlands for her all the way from Barsana, so many devotees who are not at all known to her in the past brought so many spiritual gifts for her from various parts of Vraja Mandala and prayed for her. Thousands of devotees round the world prayed for her.
In her last moments, she offered her infinite gratitude to each and every one of you for all your precious prayers for her, to her spiritual authorities, to her spiritual master – HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj – to all the Guru Parampara, to Radha and Krishna, to all the loving devotees in the Bhaktivedanta Hospice who took care of her so lovingly and who prepared her so well for the final departure, and to all who helped her in every possible way in her life.
Although Draupadi had forgotten her serving Krishna by bandaging His finger when it got cut, Krishna never forgot even such a small seva. He remembered this loving seva of Draupadi and blessed her with a continuous supply of sarees in the Kuru Sabha, and in the most crucial hour of her life, saved her honour. That is His loving reciprocation. That is His standard !! Remembering the most small seva of the jeeva and rewarding infinitely and suitably !!!! All glories to our dear Krishna !!!
Similarly, although our dear Narayani Priya Mathaa Jee has forgotten the small and little services she used to do for Krishna, like, her vigorously striving to prepare a garland of flowers for Krishna, with her highly faltering and non-co-opeative fingers, because of the fast-degenerating health, our dear Krishna did not forget all those loving offerings of her, and He generously awarded her such a glorious departure and the future destination !!!
Such loving reciprocation of our dear Krishna increase our conviction about His all-loving nature.
Before closing this long mail, I humbly offer my profound gratitude to you all for all your precious prayers for this glorious Vaishnavi who is a dedicated member of our own spiritual family. Please accept my this gratitude, out of your mercy.
In case you choose to write anything, you can write to my email : harekrishnaaa@yahoo.com, and I will convey your message to her daughter – Pallavi.
With my humble and prostrated obeisances to your holy feet,
Your servant,
Adbhuta Gauranga Das (Anand)
