With great sadness we’d like to inform our readers that Gulab Kali, the Mayapur elephant, went Back To Krishna at around six pm last night (April 1st).

Gulab Kali was/is a wonderful devotee of Sri Sri Radha Madhava. One of her services was to take the deities on procession on a regular basis. She would also attend other ceremonies and functions. She also would remember people she hadn’t seen in ages (especially if they’d given her any sort of yummy prasad like sugar cane or bananas.)

Here’s a photo of her in her glory (by Bhurijana Prabhu):
