I woke up at 2 am needing to visit the washroom. My cell phone’s message revealed that H.H. Gopal Krishna Goswami (friend and spiritual guide) had passed away. I couldn't go back to sleep. I pulled out my pen, hilroy notebook and began writing.
He signed his name
He signed his name to that temple guest book
Which triggered events leading to a hook
For that signature meant a follow-up call
In ’68 the invite came from the Montreal Hall
Patterns of goodness now set, like rising early
Once regulations began they just never stopped
For the virtuous, good actions cannot be dropped
There was gravity in his words and performance
All that spelled ‘devotion’ was of utmost importance
The travels, the classes, the mantra, the raising
This selflessness can be described as simply amazing
The temples, the murtis, the people, the books
He appeared to get into all corners and nooks
