We have received news of the untimely departure of Sriman Puru dasa, well known and loved by many devotees around the world.

On his Bhaktivedanta Memorial Library website is found the following letter from Swami B.V. Narayan:

"Today I received the sad news about the departure of my dear most bosom friend, Sriman Puru prabhu. I am praying to Sri Sri Gaura Nityananda Prabhu and Sri Sri Radha and Krsna that They will bestow Their causeless mercy upon Sriman Puru prabhu and grace him with high class of association by which he will perfect his sadhana and bhajan and attain pure Vraja bhakti.

I remember how he was in India for last 6 months, in Sri Vraja Mandal parikram and in Sri Gaura Mandal parikram. He visited many Holy places during this period and certainly gathered many deep spiritual impressions. I remember how he has served his Gurumaharaja _ Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja - and also how he has assisted myself in spreading the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission.

All glories to Sriman Puru prabhu."
