All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I came here to tell you that unfortunately for us Lila Sakti Devi Dasi left her body last night WITH 92 years old, and advanced alzheimer.

HpS - ASA - She was so great. We wondered what had happened to her. One time we came over from Santiago to VP on the bus and when we got of, three of us, we didn't know which way to go to get to here flat for the weekend.

Then some Dude, walks up ans sees us in Vaisnava dress and say, "You looking for Mama Lila-shakti", and we said, "Uh, yes... ", and he says, "Come with me, I show you. I show you."

Yet that is still the situation. She still is so great! Unfortunate for us but she has gone to excellent destination, no? Where is she now? What is she doing??

She was a dear devotee by all the community here in Chile.

Disciple of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, she was a devotee who performed tireless service for Krishna, who welcomed and trained many devotees and devotees in the "Región of Valparaíso", and with her example of humility and compassion inspired many people on the path of Bhakti Yoga.

For many years she conducted a program in Valparaíso, inviting new people, with Bhagavad Gita readings and cooking delicious dishes for all the guests. This program was the place where many people met Krishna and where many devotees continued to cultivate their faith.

Doing fast numbers, one of her vartmana-pradaksaka disciples, Madhava Priyasakhi devi dasi, said to me that more or less there are 15 active devotees now that met Krishna Consciousness because of Lila Shakti devi dasi.

Even ourselves we went there with you several times. She appreciated you a lot. Thank her contact with a director of a school we spend several days in one school on one summer in 2007 I think. Very nice programs in Biblioteca Severin, Conference in one Centro Cultural, Harinamas, et al. All the devotees remembered that program a lot.

HpS - Yes!

ISKCON Chile official post: "Last night Lila Sakti left this world leaving behind a life full of service and Bhakti. We will remember her with much affection, love and admiration. "

Ananda Vardhana commented:

Devotee's treasure !!!!! Great and resplendent Krishna consciousness programs in Valparaíso !!!!!

Dozens of memories in my heart with your Prasadam and big heart !!!!!

Hospitable host for every lucky guest who came to her home, a perfect example of a Krishna temple.

Guru Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami has great appreciation for her.

My sterile eyes moisten, thinking that she represents that devotee who speaks little, and does much.

All glories to mother Lila Lila Sakti, maker of Devotees !!!!!

HpS- The little train used to climb the machine in front of her flat!!! With Tulasi on the balcony and beautiful altar.

So, please, Guru Maharaja, a lot of her vartmana-pradarsaka disciples requested from you, if possible, your blessings and good desires to her. Keep her in your holy prayers.

HpS - Why do you even ask!??? She was always admired and appreciated by us. We hope to meet her again, to preach in Valparaiso again!!!!

Regards,

Your servant Jagad Guru Das
