Announcing the passing of Hansadutta das

With great sorrow we report that Hansadutta das has left his mortal shell, as of today, 25 April. In recent months Hansadutta had been suffering from acute pancreatitis, but in late March it was discovered that he had advanced cancer of the pancreas. Hansadutta, who would have been 80 in May, spent his final days chanting and sometimes singing the holy names alternating with listening to Srila Prabhupada’s lectures.
