Somaka Swami Maharaja Leaves Body

 

Dear devotees,

 

With a saddened heart, we announce the passing away of Somaka Maharaja. He was affected by an incurable disease, and in the evening of the 18th of this month, his body ceased to function.

 

He was Italian born and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada in 1972. He faithfully served in ISKCON almost his entire life. He was a sannyasi and an initiating guru. He relinquished his position a few years ago and retired.

 

He was loved and respected by everyone. The Italian devotees especially mourn the great soul who gave them so much.

 

Writings about him are published on the Italian web site www.isvara.it .

 

Hare Krishna!

I first met HH Somaka Mhrj in Feb1984 at Rousseau's ISKCON North Paris Castle Mandir.

He road by train alone from Italy to attend.

He was the only sannyAsi present who did not engage in the flying prasAdam toss competition.

He admirably abstained. Krishnas Dehors! Krishnas Dehors! Story at 11pm...

I ' was with Somaka Swami Maharaji in  Vrindvan Hashram in Via degli Scopeti ( San Andrea in Percuassina -Fi renze ) and I shared Love for Lord Krishna, even I was not a formal devout but a  mere friend and supporter, enthusiasm shelter and food. We work together on the construction of the first  mobile unit ( Somaka Swami was a very good mechanic and handyman ) Was  humble, always smiling and forgiving for the other mistakes, but very, very hard for his ( very rare really ) own. When I left Vrindavan Hashram at the end of my service I take wit me a memory of one   of  the best person I had meet in my entire la=life ( an I'm  71 old! 0
