== MAHAPRAYAN OF SRI B.V RAJAGOPALAN ==

Namaskar, We very much regret to report the mahaprayan* of Sri B.V. Rajagopalan a great devotee of BABA. At the time of his mahaprayan, Rajagopalanji was 79 years old, and his mahaprayan occurred in Coimbatore South India at 1 A.M, 25th January 2008. Respected Rajagopalanji was an ardent devotee of BABA since 1967, more than 40 years in all. Furthermore, Baaba stayed in his house at Coimbatore twice-- in the year 1967 and 1969. Two DMCs held in Coimbatore in 1967 and 1969. In addition, he was an instrument for their being held so successfully. Rajagopalanji was imprisoned during emergency 1975-77 for more than year in Coimbatore jail. He translated BABA'S speeches and books into Tamil. A very intellectual person having full knowledge of BABA's philosophy both social and spiritual. He had the capacity to convince anybody of BABA's sublime philosophy. He also had good contact with many people both margiis and non-margiis. BABA blessed him with MICROVITA SADHANA. At the time of this Mahaprayan, we pray to almighty BABA to take him unto His lotus feet. With deepest respects, Yours brotherly, Bhakta Vatsalam * Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in Bengal to describe the death of an honoured or even ordinary person. In that way the newspapers of Bengal are regularly citing the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away. Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily devotional term to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no devotees ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death). And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary on page 742. Checking there it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens.
