Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Barry departed this morning. Stage 4 cancer, pneumonia, blood cancer..helped him get to his next body. It was a complicated and long process. He was ready to go.

Maharaja, can you wish him well on his journey? We are praying that he can stay connected to devotees and devotional service somehow.

We chanted and sang Maha Mantra. Put Krishna’s garland on him, sprinkled Ganga water and then put offered tulsi leaf on his tongue right after the soul left the body.

He donated many plants to the temple over the years. Took lots of Prasadam. Listened to his daughter sing kirtan. Solid, down to earth kind of guy. Pantheist.

After he passed a “spirtual advisor” came to talk to all of us. A Christian man but had so many questions about what we were chanting and the significance of the garland and the tulsi leaf. Very nice interfaith dialogue and sincerity. I was thinking…maybe he will become a devotee someday and he was probably thinking…(then I remembered your story, Maharaja)

your aspiring servants,

Nitisara das and Anadi

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!! I did not know him! I did not know he was close to death. We feel cheated. 🙂.

Seems he got excellent departure.

Did he leave his body, buddy, in Boise???

Please send a picture asap so we can chant a few rounds with our mind focused on him.
