Dear All,
Hari Om!
Swami Siddheshananda of Chinmaya Mission Pune, took final refuge at the feet of Pujya Gurudev, today, 9th December, 3:40 am, in the Maauli Ashram, at Pune.
An engineer by profession, Swami Siddheshananda’s deep interest in Vedanta brought him to the portals of Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai. An alumnus of the Vedanta Course Batch,1998 – 2000, he was given Brahmachari Deeksha in 2000. Posted to Chinmaya Mission Pune, from 2000, Swamiji worked with complete dedication, to spread Pujya Gurudev’s message. He received Sannyasa Deeksha from Pujya Guruji, Swami Tejomayanandaji on Shivaratri Day of 2012.
Swami Siddheshananda’s missionary zeal was instrumental in establishing Chinmaya Maauli and the Chinmaya Vitthal Rukmini Temple, in Pune. His contagious energy and enthusiasm inspired thousands to live the ‘Gita Way of Life’ and turned Pune into a vibrant Chinmaya Mission centre.
Known for his smiling demeanour and deep compassion, Swami Siddheshananda was always available to Mission members and devotees.
Our respectful homage to Swami Siddheshananda.
At His Feet,
Swami Swaroopananda
