His Grace Agnidev Das a senior disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, a renowned kirtaniya, leader, and recording artist whose devotional music has inspired devotees around the world for decades, passed away on April 28th following hospitalization due to a serious brain stroke. An accomplished cook, he opened four successful Govinda’s restaurants in California and Oregon.
The stroke occurred following the Memorial Service of His Grace Caru Dasa, held in Spanish Fork on April 26th. Agnidev spoke at the Memorial and sang Je Anilo Prema-Dhana by Narottama Dasa Thakura, one of the most well-known Gaudiya Vaishnava bhajans, expressing deep separation and lament after the disappearance of great Vaishnavas.
According to a post by Anuradha Dasi at the time of his departure, “He was surrounded by a room full of devotees, with 99 devotees joined on Zoom — godbrothers, godsisters, senior devotees, and well-wishers. Kirtan continued throughout, creating a deeply peaceful and sacred atmosphere. The nurses and doctors present were visibly moved, standing in quiet amazement at the beauty of the moment.” A cremation ceremony was held on April 29 in Salt Lake City.
