Gaura Shakti das: Yesterday we held a memorial service in New Vrindavana for a departed Vaishnava and godbrother, Syamakunda prabhu, who left his body Friday afternoon. His body had been overcome by cancer. His extended family attended, many of whom were born and raised here. Many of his sons and daughters spoke [he has 10 children] as well as his godbrothers and godsisters.
