Deena Bandhu Das: Very sad news that a most dear Godbrother, Edhaniyasvabhava Das, passed on from Covid today! He joined Portland Temple when I was temple president in 1974. He was a very excellent artist. Later he joined the Radha Damodar Party and served in Spain for a while. He was living near the temple in Noida last few years and departed from there. Such a wonderful, sweet natured devotee, we pray that Srila Prabhupada will take him to the lotus feet of his dearmost Lord!

This is Janette, Makhanacora’s partner/spouse of 25 year’s. Mark left his body Friday with a beatiful Hare send-off, thanks to KanhaiyaDas, Noble, daughter Jahnavi and son Will.

After the fall to cement, Krishna moved to take Mak relatively quickly _ 11 months, much of them engaged in a process with the hopeful prognosis of walking again. It was only in November, ‘20 when decline began. And even then, hope didn’t, not unril regular food was out. That was late March. Then, things got crunchy.

He became kess interested in the worldly pleasures and spent the last couple of months bathing in all that is Krishna. He loved ‘Wisdom of the Sages’ for it’s earthiness … practiced religion rather than esoteric. We were soul mates on that front. Actually, on many others.

Indradyumna Swami: Dear devotees: Today we lost a very sweet devotee to COVID-19. Vrindavan-behari dasa passed away this afternoon in a government hospital in Vrindavan, India. He was a dear and loving disciple of BB Govinda Maharaja. Those of us who knew him are devastated. Please say a prayer that the Lord of Vrindavan, Sri Krsna Candra, will watch over him and guide him safely to His lotus feet.
