Mother Lorriane The Mother of Jayapataka Swami passed away

Dear Devotees

Dandavat Pranams.

with deep sorrow, I regret to inform about the sad news of the passing away of a great woman her Grace Mother Lorriane, the Mother of His Holiness Jayapataka swami. She was an admired woman with strong faith in God and very much devoted to charity and help to others, many times she visited Mayapur Dham and had asociation with many devotees, we ask your blessings for Her and prayers at this moment. The Mother of the spiritual master is also like our mother.

In fact it was one of my desires to have her coming to Mayapur and leave the body here in the holydham, but seems krsna has other palns for her, we pray to Their lordships Sri Sri Radhamadhava to have her in Their Transcedental abode, serving Their lotus feet.

Dear Devotees

dandavat pranams.

We are posting a conversation of Srila Prabhupada with some of his senior disciples about the mother of HH Jayapataka Swami, who passed away early in the morning in whitewater-wisconsin - USA. (at a very auspicious time and day on the 26th of Feb - 2008 when we celebrate the Disappearance of Sri Purusottama Das Thakur & Srila Gour Govinda Swami and the Appearance of HDG Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupad). As you all know Mother Lorraine was a great lady full of devotion and very much religious person. She was very freindly with devotees and with Krsna Consciousness, whenever she used to come to Mayapur or visit Atlanta temple during Panihati festival was like a visit of an important personality as well, her gentleness, kindness and understanding made her very popular amongst devotees. Her appreciation for all the services that Srila prabhupada was doing for the whole world was very much appretiated by all of us. She was very proud that her son was a follower of our founder Acarya and Jagatguru Srila Prabhupada who even mentioned this as you can read in this text below. Her Grace is very dear to all devotees who met her and they always felt she had something very special and very close to our hearts, I personaly had a lot of exchanges with her and lately we use to talk by the phone, even once requested her to please come to be in Mayapur for the last years of her life, but Krsna Had other plan for her in this case. We pray for her to get the mercy of Lord Caitanyadev and the Panca Tattva to be at the service of Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhava. We also offer our deepest condolences to our Spiritual Master, HH Jayapataka Swami for this big loss. The Mother of the Guru is also to be considered as our mother.
