Bhakti Charu Swami Visits The Funeral Of Hari-Narayan Prabhu In Spain

Bhakti Charu Swami Visits The Funeral Of Hari-Narayan Prabhu In Spain

One of my very dear disciples, Harinarayana Das, from Malaga, Spain, whom many of you know as one of the most wonderful devotees, left his body this afternoon. I am leaving for Spain tonight. 

Those of you, who knew him, please write about your remembrances of him and post them in this Istagosthi.

Many of you are coming to Ujjain to attend Srila Prabhupada Memorial Festival and the Seminar, therefore, I do not want to disappoint you also. I will try my best to come back on 12th. Most probably I will be able to attend the evening session that day.

Your servant,

Bhakti Charu Swami
