24th December: DANDA WANTED! Some years ago Kasya Prabhu did very nice compilations of the Danda Q&A Conference. Unfortunately it got lost, except for the years 1994 and 1998.

It is dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and "his beloved disciple HG Suhotra dasa Tapovanacari". This book contains Suhotra Maharaja's 138 pages long investigation on traditional Gaudiya Cosmotheism.

14th June - Report about the visit of Maharaja's sister in Sridham Mayapur read HERE

1st June - We have decided to use on our website the form of address as "Suhotra Maharaja". Why? The title Maharaja is not used only for sannyasis, but for sadhus (saintly persons) in general, no matter which asram they are in. In some parts of India you can also find that the title "Maharaja" is used as a polite addressing someone as "Sir".

As was already previously explained, the title "Suhotra Prabhu" is not technically exact, as his proper name was Suhotra dasa Tapovanacari. This name he received in an initiation with fire yajna from his siksa guru HH Bhaktividya Purna Maharaja. It is a renunciate title, not sannyasa but "vairagi" or learned performer of austerities. He was not "Suhotra Prabhu " in the sense of being in brahmacari asrama, because brahmacari is in Vedic culture just a boy not older than 25 years old. He was TAPOvanacari, not just vanacari (vanaprastha), because he was never married. So our site is named Suhotraprabhu.com just for the practicality's sake, as it would be difficult to fit in his full name there.

Part of Letter by Suhotra Dasa from March 2005
"I am thankful that before the time of death, Lord Krsna is giving me this chance to understand the true position."

Remembering Suhotra Maharaja
AC Bhaktivaibhava Swami: "I am convinced that the Lord granted him the eternal shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. I am joining all of you in sharing my memories of him, and in showing my deep gratitude and humble respect to a person, who has sacrificed his life and his final breath in the service of our eternal lord and master, Srila Prabhupada."

Departure of Suhotra Maharaja
With heart full of pain I have to inform you about recent passing away of HG Suhotra das Tapovanacari from this world. His body was found on Monday 9th April in his room in Mayapur Gurukula.
