We will miss her, but she's with her Best Friend now
Mulaprakriti Devi Dasi (aka Morissa Lane Dougherty, Mussy and Gramma Mula) left her body this morning in the holiest of places, listening to her beloved Srila Prabhupada singing Siksakstaka. Those who were there will never forget the experience. She left with a smile on her face and without a touch of fear in her eyes. In her last days she gave special advice to friends and relatives. Sometimes we were miffed by her blunt and unabashed instructions, but there is no doubt in any of our minds that she felt the harsher she was the more serious we would take it. She also made sure everyone would have a chance to read her last offering to her spiritual master, her book "Our Srila Prabhupada, A Friend to All". Devotees all over the world, who Mula touched with her sincere and serious devotion, are eagerly awaiting this extraordinary compilation of Vaisnavas' recollections of experiences with Srila Prabhupada before he came to the West. We know that it will be worth the wait.
We mourn her loss, but we will always carry our memories of her to cherish for the rest of our lives. May she bless us all with the same determination to serve Sri Sri Radha-Krsna and Their devotees as she had. All glories to her Grace Mulaprakriti Prabhu!
