We are saddened to announce the passing of His Grace Agnideva Dasa on April 28th at 8:34 PM MDT in Salt Lake City, Utah, following a severe stroke he suffered on Sunday after Caru Das’s memorial service in Spanish Fork.
According to a post by Anuradha Dasi, “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.”
Agnidev was a senior disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, receiving initiation in 1974. He was a renowned kirtaniya, preacher, and recording artist whose devotional music inspired devotees worldwide for decades.
A small local ceremony and cremation are planned for tomorrow morning in Salt Lake City. We will share confirmed timing and any additional details as they become available.
We are also gathering a fuller biography and appreciations, which will be shared on ISKCONNews.org.
