Hare Krishna!
Dear Chandrasekhar Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you very much for your kind notice. Taichung devotees had Sankirtana
Prabhu¡∆s memory celebration on Janmastami under Krishna Baladeva Prabhu¡∆s
guidance. It¡∆s simple, but deep and touching. Sankirtana Prabhu has done so
much for this region of the world. We love him deeply and will reciprocate his
sweet friendship and wonderful devotional service by our constant service in
Srila Prabhupada¡∆s mission.
Your servant,
Shyamasundari d.d. (steven matthews)
Hare Krishna,

Below is a short description from Radhananda dasi, wife of Dayal Nitai dasa,
who is presently in Switzerland and has heard from Vanamali dasi, Sankirtan
Prabhu's sister. Other details may come as the days progress but this is what
we have at present. You are welcoome to share this message with others
Radha Charan Prabhu has written something that will be posted on dandavats
and will shall arrange other devotees to write memories etc during the course
of the next week or two. Any of you are also welcome to write something to
either share on danadvats.com or among the devotee community in this region of
the world.
It would be nice if the devotees could arrange memory celebrations in their
respective Yatras sometime after Srila Prabhupada's appearance day. You may
also wish to do something on Janmastami itself or Srila Prabhupada's appearance
day
Your servant
Chandrasekhar dasa
Radhananda dd: Dayal Nitai prabhu told me, according
to Vanamali mataji said, last night Sankirtan prabhu was very weak, and hardly
spoke and hardly understand, and the last spoke from Sankritan prabhu was he
felt fully confident.... then this early morning he started to breathe
deeply....Vanamali mataji called the doctor, just befort the doctor came,
Sankritan prabhu had his last breath. 2 other local devotees came to the room,
they had kirtan together, and they asked Dayal Nitai prabhu shareing some
memories of Sankritan prabhu,( they didn't know much about what Sankritan
prabhu in Asia,( that was the idea of collecting the memories of Sankritan
prabhu.) somehow Sankritan prabhu's eyes open, and as bright as he was alife,
Vanamali mataji was trying to close them, but she couldn't. so Sankirtan
prabhu's body looked like he was still there. According to Vanamali mataji,
Sankritan prabhu's body will stay in the room till Monday, hopefully can get
cremation on Monday.
