Obituary

Pravrajika Shubhraprana

We are sorry to record the passing away of Pravrajika Shubhraprana, a senior sannyasini of Sri Sarada Math, aged 97, on Tuesday, 4th June, 2019 at 6.10 am at the Ramakrishna Mission Sevaprathisthan due to intestinal obstruction with peritonitis.

On the 2nd June night she had attended Phalaharini Kali Puja in the temple. On the 3rd afternoon she was admitted to the hospital for severe vomiting and other discomforts. Early morning on the 4th she breathed her last.

A disciple of Swami Virajananda, she joined the Order in June 1954 at the Sister Nivedita School. Later in July, she was sent to the Women's Math first started at Entally where she stayed till the formal opening of Sri Sarada Math at Dakshineswar on 2nd December 1954. At different times between 1957 and 1974 she served at the Ashrama at Entally and the headquarters at Dakshineswar. She received Brahmacharya in 1959 from Pravrajika Bharatiprana, the first President of Sri Sarada Math, after which she was sent to Varanasi as a worker in the women's section of the Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama till April 1961. She was invested with Sannyasa in January 1964 by Pravrajika Bharatiprana. In January 1975 she was sent to Bangalore to start a centre of the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission there, which was later converted into a Math centre and was appointed President of Sri Sarada Math, Bangalore from October 1977. She retired from her office in March 2013 and came to stay at the headquarters in January 2015 where she remained till the end.

Simple and child like, she drew love and respect from all for her deep spirituality. Her life will indeed remain an inspiration to many. May her soul rest in eternal peace!



If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this is your own.
