Another dear devotee is dying of cancer

PADA: I am not really at liberty to give the details here yet, and will update when there are further developments. Apparently he is in a hospital with a few weeks to live. This devotee collected tons of money for New Vrndavana and then became dis-illusioned with ISKCON's leaders. He then sort of joined our idea, but due to politics he could not really stay at any temples. So he sort of drifted off and seemed to have become despondent. Naturally, all the turmoil going on in ISKCON will have severe impact on sensitive souls like this devotee, and will cause undue stress and so forth, which may of course ruin one's health and can cause premature death.

His poor mother also ended up basically hating ISKCON for all the exploitation of her son. This is a follow up to my previous article where I said that too many of our devotees are dying prematurely, and something is amiss here. What is amiss is -- mainly -- that these devotees are suffering from being exiled from their service and the temple atmosphere Srila Prabhupada wanted for them. This is the main reason I cannot forgive these bogus leaders, they have simply caused too much pain and suffering for too many nice devotees like this one. I am going to try to call this devotee this week end at his hospital and will update when possible.

At the same time I am very confident these sincere and humble types of devotees will get "special mercy" from Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu for making an attempt to serve Him, i.e. these sincere folks will be given automatic forward progress towards going back to Godhead, just as I am confident the people who persecuted this poor devotee away from ISKCON will get "special -- no mercy whatsoever -- treatment" from the Yamaduttas and their barking hounds. Watch that axe Eugene! Ouch! ys pd     


GAURAHARI DASA SAYS (about the alienated devotees): There was another Srila Prabhupada disciple that has come to our sanga on the internet who felt bad that he could not serve Srila Prabhupada much now days. Now life is comming back for him and others who attend our twice daily progam. Even though we dont have a formal situation we have ecstatic congregational japa together with nice devotees from around the world, speak about lord caitanya lila and many bhakti yoga topics. It is so nice and our will to go on just keeps getting stronger and the bhakti yoga principals more clear and krishna and Srila Prabhupada more near.
