== MAHAPRAYAN* OF PP DADA ==

Namaskar, It is with great sadness that we convey the news of the Mahaprayan* (death) of PP Dada. It was at 9am IST of 15th Oct 2008 that Revered Purodha Pramukha Dada passed away at Modi Seva Sadan hospital, Ranchi India. PP suffered from a urinary infection. PP Dada will be cremated in Ananda Nagar tomorrow, reportedly. On this occasion of his mahaprayan, may our dear PP Dada gain his eternal place under Baba's divine shelter. With brotherly love and affection, Manindra *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 ofBengal 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.
