Re: In Honor of Richard L Thompson Sadaputa dasa prabhu

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shri Guru Parampara! It is extremely sad to hear of Sadaputa dasa prabhu's departure. I did not meet him personally since he was mostly based in the US but his intense dedication to Shrila Prabhupada's vision to explains the Vedic truth in the terms of the modern-day science which strikingly manifests in his wonderful writings, will be a great example for devotees in the coming generations. His valuable writings are also a beacon of hope for those people who think that the structure of the universe and the creation described in Shrimad Bhagavatam is simply imagination. We profusely thank him for taking the great pains to study and present the Vedic teachings in such a scientific manner. We sincerely pray that his soul attains the eternal shelter of Lord Gaura Krishna in the spiritual world.

It has always been the trend in this world that the people realize the gravity of the value of a devotee's contributions after he or she leaves this world. During their presence, the world takes their association for granted and does not even endeavor to meet them or try to understand their teachings.

Daaso'smi, BRS Swami Gaurangapada.
