Please accept my dandavat pranams
All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Gopal
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to You Dear Gurudev

Thank You for giving us the opportunity to honour our Dear Gurubhai, HG Sankirtan Prabhu.

Dear Sankirtan Gurubhai

Please accept my dandavat pranams.

Thank You so much for your guidance, Your kindness and most importantly Your association.

Krsna Baladev and I have looked upon You not only as our Gurubhai but also ourSiksha Guru. I will always remember and appreciate Your kindness and Yourpractical guidance that You gave me when we You first met all the aspiringdisciples of Gurumaharaj. I still have the minutes to that meeting. You madeus feel so comfortable and I also had some concerns of my own about my spiritual life. Your guidance and wise words made me feel at ease.

I also thank Lord Krsna and Gurudev for allowing me the opportunity to prepareprasadam and serve You on a few occasions when You visited our home. Eventhough You were so sick You still found the time about two weeks ago to writeto us remembering our association and hoping we can meet again. I was verytouched by Your e-mail. It saddened my heart when we heard of Your passing on,however I took comfort in the knowledge that You are now without any bodilypainsand You are in the association of Lord Krsna. Still I will miss You.Lots and Lots of devotees in Durban will miss You. Your Glories are alwaysspoken here. Your knowledge of scripture, Your kindness and Your smilingtranscendental face will always be remembered.

I remember how You lead kirtan on harinam when the devotees walked to the “newHanuman temple" and also at one Ram Naumi festival, while everyone was seated,you entered the hall while singing Gurumaharaj's "Sita Ram". I remember turningaround and feeling so blessed and thinking "that is my Gurubhai!"

Dear Gurubhai, please bless me so that I too can have the same love anddevotion that You have for Radha and Krsna.

Your useless and insignificant servant
