Five hours.
Just five hours to stand beside the mortal remains of the mother who gave him life, to perform a son's final duty, to grieve, and then to return once again behind prison walls.
Seeing Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu break down before Shri Krishna is painful beyond words.
At such a moment, arguments and politics feel very small.
There is only a grieving son seeking strength at the feet of the Lord he has served.
Prabhu, may Govinda give you the strength to endure what words cannot console.
कृष्णाय वासुदेवाय हरये परमात्मने ।
प्रणत-क्लेशनाशाय गोविन्दाय नमो नमः ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः।
