Passing away of Swami Adiswaranandaji

Some of you may know Swami Adiswaranadaji, who had been the minister and spiritual leader of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York (east side) for many years. I was sad to hear this week that he passed away suddenly.

From the Center's site:

With a heavy heart we are saddened to announce the sudden passing away on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 of Revered Swami Adiswarananda, the beloved minister and spiritual leader of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York. Swami experienced a very severe hemorrhage (bleeding) in the brain on Monday, October 29, 2007 that proved fatal. Swami was fully conscious when the incident occurred, and he passed away peacefully and painlessly.


A funeral service for the Swami was held today (Nov. 2nd) at the Center.
