Obituary

Pravrajika Sarvarupaprana

With deep sorrow, we record the sudden demise of Pravrajika Sarvarupaprana (Surekha), age 62, on 23rd March, 2025 at 8.42 am at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune.

A disciple of Pravrajika Mokshaprana, she joined the Order in 1988 at Sri Sarada Math, Pune, where she stayed till 1991, when she was sent to the headquarters for the two years training. She was initiated into brahmacharya in 1993 by Pravrajika Mokshaprana and received sannyasa from Pravrajika Shraddhaprana in the year 2000. Thereafter except for two visits to the headquarters and a short stay at Sri Sarada Math, Almora, she remained all along at the Pune Math. Though her mobility was much restricted she showed a remarkable management skill in spreading Swamiji’s message by arranging competitions with the help of volunteers, among school and college students in different parts of Maharashtra. She also served the centre in many ways and tried to help newcomers to understand and adjust to the monastic life.

Steady, gentle, alert and responsible, her presence in Pune Math was indeed, in every way, invaluable. Her untimely demise is a loss to the Order. May her soul rest in peace!
