HARE KRSNA–I WAS THERE AND I SAW EVERYTHING.

( I saw them, they looked like Monsters ).Srila Prabhupada Original-Personal -.Radharani deity was taken by the Dacoits – (Later Broken by them)–as well as Prabhupada Small Murti from the AlTAR -,, it was a Horrific-Dramatic thing to see…I kneeled by my godbrother in his pool of blood-HG Raghava Pandit Das Prabhu (now Maharaj) His leg got blown off by a Bomb (he could have bled to death-He remained calm and asked for this bead bag(as he bled profusely) We wrapped his leg tight-with cloths-(he tried to stop the Dacoits They threw a bomb at him)–, I Sat with him on the ground for hours- until almost Daylight…When a car could take him to the hospital.
