I visited him some days before. It was a bit late and Mahamuni Prabhu was
there. He was very compssionjate and was reading to Maharaja for 2 hours
daily. Gopal Krsna Maharaja came with tow doctors who suggested
intervenous drips and soups. Maharaja was strong in rufusing those things.
Finally they said warm water and left it. They felt the he was OK the way
he was. His skin was very healthy looking and his eyes were bright.
Althought he had been lying in bed for many months, there were no bed
sores. He reached up and took my hand with a very strong grip for over 10
minutes.

On Srila Prabhupada's disappearance day I went again after watching Yadubara
Prabhu's newest DVD. Again Mahamuni was there as were two hospice doctors
from Mumbai. They had set up a schedule of reading and chanting for him.
It was late and we left the room. But somehow he called me back and I
stayed about ten minutes. I just chanted along with the recording of
srila Prabhupada. At that time his hands were shaking like a typical
Prakinson's patient.
He rang his buzzer and we left him to rest.

The next day just as the Delhi Ratha Yatra was strating we got the call that
he had left his body, which is what he very much wanted to do. HH Gopal
Krsna Maharaja rushed back to Vrndavan to attend the samadhi ceremony.
