I am posting this email, I received today. It is a sad news. I knew Swami Atmanandji from my school days. I have some photos of him, that I will post. I met him last on 4th Sept 2010. He was frail. He had not been keeping well for quite some time. My father has been very close to him for long. He will miss him more than I do. But then that is the truth of life. Atmanandji is now back with his Gurudev. Swami Hariharji Maharaj.
We can take solace in Gita Ch2 Verse 23
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः।।
nainam chindanti śastrāNi nainam dahati pāvakah.
na cainam kledayantyāpo na śoshayati mārutah..
