We are sorry
to announce the passing away of two of our brother-monks during
the last month.
Swami
Trilokeshanandaji (Manindra Maharaj) passed away on 24 June
at 3.40 pm at Belur Math. He was 78 and had been suffering from
hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, etc for some
years. An initiated disciple of Swami Vishuddhanandaji, he
joined the Order at Malda centre in 1953 and had Sannyasa from
Swami Madhavanandaji in 1963. Besides his joining centre, he
served at Almora, Shyamla Tal, Rajkot, Baghbazar and Mumbai
centres. He had been leading a retired life at Belur Math for
the last three months. Simple, affable and sweet-natured, the
Swami endeared himself to all those who came in contact with
him.
Swami
Shuddharupanandaji (Prakash Maharaj), head of Jaipur centre,
expired suddenly on 26 June at about 9.45 pm at Jaipur centre
owing to massive heart attack. He was 65 and had been suffering
from hypertension and diabetes for some years. Initiated by
Swami Vireshwaranandaji, he joined the Order at Rajkot Math in
1973 and had Sannyasa from his Guru in 1984. He served at
Rajkot centre for 6 years, Belur Math construction department
for 22 years, Vedanta Society, New York, for a short period, and
Jaipur centre for 4 years. He was the head of Jaipur centre for
one year. He actively participated in the flood rehabilitation
project at Arambag (Dist. Hooghly) in 1979-80. A well-trained
and experienced engineer, he supervised the construction of
several buildings in Belur Math and in some other centres such
as Rajkot, Contai and Seva Pratishthan. The Swami was
hard-working and jovial by nature.
