Dear devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the departure of Vipramukhya prabhu from his services as guru and sannyasa.
He has been a dedicated servant of Srila Prabhupada's movement over the last 29 years: a kind and considerate person, an attractive preacher, and always jovial and fun to be with.
In recent years he took on the great burden of being the temple president of Bhaktivedanta Manor, one of Srila Prabhupada's flagship temples.
Of course his departure from sannyasa also raises other questions regarding how to better help maintain all our sannyasis in their chosen asrama. This indeed is a subject that will require more thoughtful reflection and meditation and one that requires a very measured and considered response.
In the meantime we wish Vipramukhya prabhu well during this difficult time and are looking forward to and praying for his association again in the not too distant future.
To all of Vipramukhya prabhu's disciples and followers we also offer our heartfelt concerns and request them (as Vipramukhya prabhu has himself) to take shelter in Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada's senior disciples in ISKCON, who in turn will humbly try to serve and guide you through this difficult moment in your spiritual lives.
Your servants,
Giridhari Swami,
Bhakti Caitanya Swami,
Gopal Krsna Goswami,
Bir Krishna das Goswami,
Praghosa dasa.
