Ramaprasada Prabhu goes back to Godhead

[Paramananda das]

Paramananda Das dear Ramaprasada Prabhu Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I am very sad of hearing of you passing away. I did talk to you shortly before you passed away. We met in 1990 when I was sankirtana leader in LA for a few months and I was also your bhakti leader. You are a joyful and kind person and devotee and I know you will keep serving Krsna and Srila Prabhupada no matter what .My final advise to you a month ago was to take to chanting 64 rounds and surrender to Krsnas lotusfeet.Being with many sweet devotees, I know you did not leave this world feeling alone and unloved. I last met you again in London in 1996, I feel I have let you down by not staying more often in contact with you .But you are my eternal brother and friend , and as I told you I have much love and affection for you .Rama I will truly miss you and remember your kindness and friendship with all , I have only love for you and I will pray to my Govardhana silas and Salagrama silas to give you a place in Goloka Vrindavana as a friend of Krsna. I know this was in your heart.I will truly miss you and so will all your friends and wellwisher. with much love your spiritual brother Paramananda das PS One of the last things I send you was the glories of Gopichandana and there is a blessing that everyone that reads and understand and accept it will attain Goloka Vrindavana ,I am sure you left this world with a smiling face wearing tilaka

  Paramananda Das alam alam iyam eva praninam patakanam nirasana-vishaye ya krishna krishneti vani
  yadi bhavati mukunde bhaktir ananda-sandra
  viluthati caranabje moksha-samrajya-lakshmih
  
  The words “Krishna!” “Krishna!” are sufficient to purify the people’s sins. If they have blissful service to Lord Mukunda, then the goddess of liberation bows before their lotus feet.
  —Shri Sarvajna
  
  vepante duritani moha-mahima sammoham alambate
  satankam nakha-ranjanim kalayati shri-citraguptah kriti
  sanandam madhu-parka-sambhriti-vidhau vedhah karoty udyamam
  vaktum namni taveshvarabhilashite brumah kim anyat param
  
  O Supreme Personality of Godhead, when someone desires to chant Your holy name, sins tremble in fear, the glory of material illusion faints unconscious, Yamaraja’s scribe Citragupta becomes happy and gazes at the chanter’s toenails with awe and reverence, and Lord Brahma prepares madhu-parka to worship him. O Lord, what more can we say than this?

  kah pareta-nagari-purandarah
  ko bhaved atha tadiya-kinkarah
  krishna-nama jagad-eka-mangalam
  kantha-pitham urari-karoti cet
  
  Lord Krishna’s holy name is the only auspiciousness in this world. If one keeps it in his throat, then what is Yamaraja, the king of the other world, to him? What are Yamaraja’s sevants to him?
  —Shri Anandacarya
  
  viceyani vicaryani
  vicintyani punah punah
  kripanasya dhananiva
  tvan-namani bhavantu nah
  
  O Lord, just as a miser continually collects, counts and remembers his money, in the same way let us continually collect, count, and remember Your holy names,
  —Shri Bhavananda
