Kurma Dasa: Sahadeva dasa ACBSP - Back to Godhead.
My Godbrother Sriman Sahadeva dasa ACBSP has just passed away in Sridham Mayapur (as per his ardent desire) surrounded by devotees and kirtan. Hare Krishna!
Damodara Priya writes:
“We were there. He had a flag from Jagannath Puri temple on his head, maha Tulsi leaves from Lord Jagannath in Puri, Govardhan dust, a garland from Lord Narasimhadev, water from the 22 wells in Ramesvaram and lots more. Everything felt very auspicious with the devotees chanting”.

“I worship Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is being served by all His devotees and associates; whose hair is bound with strings of pearls; on whose moonlike face is the nectar of His gentle smile. His beautiful golden body is covered with lovely garments and various shining ornaments. He is so charming, being absorbed as He is in the enjoyment of sweet mellows in dancing, and is more splendid in His dress than even Cupid himself.”
