With deep sorrow and heartfelt prayers, we wish to inform all devotees, disciples, friends, and well-wishers that His Grace Kratu Prabhuji entered the eternal service of the Lord and concluded his manifest pastimes in this world on Monday, 1 June 2026, at approximately 1:26 PM IST.
By the arrangement of Sri Sri Radha-Shyamasundar and the causeless mercy of Sri Krishna, Maharaj departed during the auspicious Purushottama Masa, at his ashram in Sri Dham Vrindavan, the sacred abode he deeply cherished and where he desired to remain.
In his final days, despite severe physical challenges and prolonged medical treatment, Maharaj remained the recipient of the prayers, affection, and service of devotees from around the world. Surrounded by the transcendental atmosphere of Vrindavan, the holy names of the Lord, kirtan, and the association of devotees, he peacefully entered the Lord’s eternal pastimes.
Throughout his life, Maharaj dedicated every breath to the service of Srila Prabhupada, the propagation of Krishna consciousness, the distribution of transcendental knowledge.
At this moment, we humbly request all devotees to offer prayers for Maharaj’s eternal service to Sri Sri Radha-Krishna and to honor his legacy by sincerely engaging in devotional service, chanting the holy names, studying Srila Prabhupada’s books, and assisting in the mission he so lovingly served.
Maharaj’s Antim Yatra (final procession) and Antim Satkar (final rites) will be conducted tomorrow. Detailed timings and arrangements will be communicated separately. All devotees are requested to kindly participate physically or through prayers and kirtan, seeking the blessings of this exalted Vaishnava.
Although his physical presence will be deeply missed, his teachings, service mood, and example of dedication to Guru and Gauranga will continue to inspire generations of devotees.
“The devotee never dies, for he lives forever in the service and teachings of the Lord.”
Hare Krishna.
On behalf of the disciples, devotees, and well-wishers of His Grace Kratu Prabhuji.
