Suhotra Maharaj news from Mayapur


Actually i was planning to report from india with all the places we have visited, but Lord Narasimha had some other plans here.

On evening 8th april 2007 HH Suhotra Maharaj has left the world in Mayapur Dham. He was only 57 years old and considered by many friends and wellwishers as a Avadhuta* and rare Genius on this earth. He was my personal wellwisher (and spiritual master as well) for more then 15 years.
He joined the spiritual Movement Iskcon (also Hare Krsna Movement) 1971, and became a travelling preacher. 1982 he took the Sannyas Order (Monk) and became one of the spiritual leader of the Krishna society in europe. 1989 he accepted disciples, and conntinued to initiate up to year of 2004. Due to the heavy task of carriyng the movement forward and his huge responibility of leadership etc. he felt not anymore to take that burden, and had withdrawn of the responsibility of being part of the official Leaders inside Iskcon. Despite of this he continued with his spiritual practise and took shelter in the holy Dham of Navadvip, Bengal-India. He started there a Srimad Bhagavatam Vaibhava Discourse inside the Gurukula (School for young students) and worked on a new development to give teaching on spiritual subject matter only. He was planning to write a book on Srimad Bhagavatam and emerged him self in his last days fully in it. When we were in Mayapur midst of March i missed his assosiation, as he was not available for me. I feel remorse to missed Him so close, but i think there was a reason why. Maybe my ego was to puffed up. I beg to lower my self in front of all of you, to become a better person and serve the great Vaishnavas without offense and egoism!
