The Swami died early Wednesday in a New York Hospital.
The Swami, according to IAC, was a beacon of spirituality whose guidance was much sought by thousands over the years he has been attached to the Ashram.
“His humility was exemplary and in providing spiritual guidance, he positively influenced many lives. He was foremost an inspirational figure with a humble disposition.”
The 79-year-old, a national awardee, returned to Guyana in the 70’s as the first Hindu-ordained monk. He was well-known here as well in the New York area.
“The IAC would like to take this opportunity to extend to the executives and devotees of the Ashram, its sincere condolences on the passing of this most revered Guru. His spiritual wisdom would be immensely missed. May his soul rest in peace.”
