Actually, they shared a wonderful kirtan with "Khar" & Radha then retired. Between 9 & 10 pm, Yamuna complained of chest pains and pressure to the head.
Dina asked what she wanted to do and Yamuna preferred to sit and chant. She took one over-the-counter head ache relief. At 12:30 am, Dina checked and she was sleeping with her oxygen machine. At 6:30, she checked again but
this time, she had removed the machine,was lying on the bed, looking peaceful with her hand in her bead bag.

Alleging that the text was spreading “social discord” and was “extremist”, prosecutors have sought a ban on the Russian translation of the book by founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
