Srila Prabhupada pastimes


This one comes from Gaura Prabhu ACBSP (France)-

Prithaputra Swami was the 1st French sannyasi. He did a lot ofservice for the preaching mission. But after Srila Prabhupada's physical demise he left KC and reassumed a lifestyle he led before he joined - sex,drugs & rock'n'roll. He never came back. Nevertheless, he never criticised neither ISKCON nor KC.

Some years later he contracted an AIDS. As the disease progressed he ended up in hospital, and as it progressed further he was hooked on the machines which kept him alive. During his last days he was in coma. As he was about to die any day now doctors gathered around his bed and tried to estimate how many days - if not hours - he had left. As they discussed his condition all of a sudden Prithaputra Prabhu opened his eyes, sat up in his bed and looked towards the door. -

"Prabhupada, you came...", he said. Then he layed back on his bed,closed his eyes and died. Doctors later told this story to the devotees.

Hare Krishna prabhu

I am in the mailing list of H.H.Romapada Swami Maharaj and he sent it to me. He says in the email that someone (does not mention who) sent the story to him and has never been documented.
