Rudrani dd -- Leaves Her Body!

Hare Krsna,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have just received news from my Godsister, Pajavali dd (Rudrani's biological sister), that Rudrani dd passed away this morning at 2:00 AM.

Pajavali described the moments leading up to her sisters departure... She said that Rudrani was feeling quite comfortable all day yesterday, and everything seemed to be going well. However, this morning at 2:00 AM, Rudrani called over to Shanti (who had been caring for her for many years, and who never left her side) to come over to her. Rudrani told Shanti that she felt an unusual sensation in her heart. They held hands and chanted the Holy Names (the Maha mantra) for some time. Shanti told her to concentrate on the picture of Vrndadevi (in gopi form) that was on the front cover of a very nice hand made get-well card (11"x16") in which the devotees had written their well-wishes.

After a few moments, Rudrani responded, "I see the real Tulasi. I have to go now!", and left her body!

I am sure we were all praying to Vrndadevi to be there for her dear servant Rudrani--to personally take her back to Godhead... It appears she did just that.

All glories to Rudrani and her many years of dedicated and loving service to Srimati Tulasi Maharani!

We will greatly miss you, my dear Godsister!

Hare Krsna,

Bhava dasa

    How wonderful for her to leave her body in this way! If only I knew I could worship Vrndadevi and become a devotee of Krishna? It seems contradictory. I started a tribe about Radha Bhava/eliminating sahajiyas. I am sure Rudrani went to Vrndavana. Did she cultivate a relationship with Srimati Vrnda Devi? Did she somehow feel attached to Vrndavana ahead of this event?
    I read the story again. She was a servant of Tulasi Devi.
    I can't help it. I am going to dedicate my life to serving Tulasi Devi and Radharani and the gopis. If this is wrong and anybody can straighten me out please do so.
    All glories to Rudrani dd, I pray for a drop of her mercy! Srila Prabhupada ki jai!
