I believe that it's said that anyone who passes away withing a couple of miles of a salagrama-sila attains liberation. What that means very likely depends on many circumstances. In John's case, it seems the circumstances could hardly have been more auspicious.<BR/><BR/>I met with him several times--a couple of times at the temple when he and Helen would visit Manjari (although they seemed to prefer that she visit them at home), and two or three times at his office to discuss things related to the devotees' place in local news from time to time. He was always gracious and generous with his time.<BR/><BR/>Please convey my condolences to Manjari.Babhru dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394886800750624206noreply@blogger.com
