Dear devotees,
With a saddened heart, we announce the passing away of Somaka Maharaja. He was affected by an incurable disease, and in the evening of the 18th of this month, his body ceased to function.
He was Italian born and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada in 1972. He faithfully served in ISKCON almost his entire life. He was a sannyasi and an initiating guru. He relinquished his position a few years ago and retired.
He was loved and respected by everyone. The Italian devotees especially mourn the great soul who gave them so much.
Writings about him are published on the Italian web site www.isvara.it.
Hare Krishna!
