It is with sadness that I heard this
past weekend of the passing away of Swami Gokulanandaji. He passed
away on Saturday March 31st. The Swami was the head of the Ramakrishna Mission in Delhi.
I first met Swami Gokulanandaji when I visited Delhi in 1996. He was very loving and hospitable, and made me feel right at home. Several years later in 2004, the Swami visited the United States where I was able to meet him again.
The photo below of the Swami was taken on his trip to Seattle in 2004. You can see the Vivekananda Hall at the Vedanta Society of Western Washington's Tapovan Retreat in the background.
