Passing of Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor

[Gauracandra 1]

I just read of the passing of Dr. Kapoor. I didn't realize, until I was told in the last few weeks, that there was 'controversy' regarding him and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta. Whatever the history, he was a Vaisnava and so should be respected. Perhaps others who have more information could post some stories or eulogies about him.

Who is a Vaishnava?

It is said that he was a disciple of Siddhanta Saraswati, but I believe that he considered his "official" initiating guru to have been Gauranga Das Babaji, a disciple of Ram Das Babaji and grand-disciple of Radha Raman Charan Dasji.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of this Sri Chaitanya Vaishnava who was a true sweetheart.

ALL GLORIES TO THE DEVOTEES OF SRI CHAITANYA!

ALL GLORIES TO THE DEVOTEES OF SRI SRI RADHA KRISHNA!

Who is a Vaishnava?

Vaishnava = worshipper of Vishnu.

That is sad news indeed. Truly a mahatma of the highest order that respected all Vaishnavas and was always a perfect gentleman. He used to introduce various Western candidates interested in initiation to various babajis from the Nitai Gaur Radhe Syam line.

 

Hey, Jijaji, where have you been hiding? I left you a message by phone last night.
