It has been a mixture of emotions for all of us, the sadness and grief of losing a great son, father, brother, uncle, friend, Guruji, Acharya, Humanitarian and Missionary worker to name a few of Shri Prakash Gossaiji's duties and responsibilities, as well as the void he has left in all our lives. He is known to most people around the world as "Guruji", including his family. Many of you have asked for details of Guruji's final days with us. Hence, we would like to give you an update of what happened during last days here and since his soul departed this world on June 15th, 2009. When we heard Guruji was experiencing heart problems in Guyana, we quickly arranged for a medical air-ambulance to go to Guyana and bring him to New York. Due to regulations, the medic-ambulance could only fly for eight hours, which is why he was taken to Miami, the closest Port-Of-Entry. The flying time from Miami to Guyana and back is approximately eight hours. A good friend, Dr Suresh Narine was a member of the medical team that accompanied Guruji from Guyana to Miami. On Friday, June 12th his sisters Dora and Sushilla with his daughter Preeti flew to Miami to meet him when he arrived; his son Arun joined them later at Jackson's Memorial Hospital in Miami. Several relatives and friends came to visit with him throughout the weekend. Guruji was tired but optimistic. The doctors in Miami didn't feel his condition was critical: an Angiogram was scheduled for him on Monday morning. He was looking forward to going home to New York; he wanted us to drive back after his tests were completed and permission was given for him to travel. We agreed to rent an appropriate vehicle for this journey. After everyone left on Sunday night, Dora, Sushilla, Preeti and Arun sang bhajans, kirtans and prayed with him until he fell asleep. This great soul departed his physical body at 3:00am on Monday, June 15th, 2009 in the arms of his son, with his daughter and sisters by his side. This was the most devastating moment for us, as well as many devotees around the world. We prayed and asked God for strength and understanding. He took his final journey to New York On Tuesday, June 16th, 2009. Thousands of devotees, family, friends, shisyas and followers from around the world came to New York to bid their last farewell to a beloved Guruji. His funeral was on June 18th, which was broadcast live in Guyana for the people he loved and served to the end. We took his ashes back to Guyana for a special ceremony at De Hoop Mandir, Mahaica on August 23rd, 2009. Everyday is a new journey and we are thankful for your cards, letters, emails, phone calls and to those of you that have taken time out of your busy schedule to visit with us, join us in prayers and share your memories. Guruji will forever dwell in our hearts; he has left a richer world today. He encouraged people everywhere to seek God and follow the path of Dharma-universal principle of righteousness applicable to the well-being of humanity. He was a messenger of love and peace; he departed this world with a smile on his lips, reminding us that God is Love and Truth. Jai Ho Guruji! Words are not enough to express our thanks and gratitude to all of you for your love and support over the last eight months.
