When you leave the material world

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Lettuce feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - !!!

  All glories to Guru parampara.


  Gurudev, I was thinking what will happen once you left [leave] this material world.

  And then how we have to continue spiritual journey further and meet your 

  expectations.


  So thought to seek couple of points with you:

  1. What we have to follow once you left this world. Means, do we need to follow

    any karma kand activities.

HpS - Maybe some rituals. Eg. Nitai-gaurasundara Das is the offical Executor of Our Last Will and Testament. There we have asked to have our body cremated and the ashes put in the Yamuna or Ganges.

There seem to be nice devotees in ISKCON to do these simply.

In general it seems nice to have photo of departed devotee in front of us and chant Hare Krsna. Maybe photo at Sunday Feast and offer Maha-prasadam.


  2. Do we need to follow any thing specific as per Srila Prabhupada's guidelines.

HpS - Same as above.

  Please guide.  


Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das


HpS - In general, we can always be connected by our participation in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan.

We hope we can develop those relations more and more. This Blog is good tool for that, no?

Thank you!!!
