It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Shri Pranjiwan Lodhia, a long-time and loving devotee of Pujya Gurudev of many decades, attained His lotus feet on 16 April 2022, at 8 PM San Jose time (17 April 2022 at 8.30 AM IST), at age 78.
Pujya Gurudev appointed Pranji (as he was fondly called) as a Chinmaya Mission West (CMW) board member in 1981. Since then and until September 2021, he served as the Treasurer and a Director of CMW. Other than that, he served on the boards of several CMW Centers.
He served as a board member of CORDUSA from its inception in 2009 till 2022 March.
An efficient worker, Pranji will be fondly remembered for his friendly demeanour and readiness to lend a hand wherever and whenever required.
We offer prayers to grant strength to his family in this hour of loss. Pranji remains now ever at the feet of Pujya Gurudev.
At His feet,
Swami Swaroopananda

Some of the fun and informative activities planned for all ages are: Satvik Shark Tank, Vegan Baking Challenge, Scavenger Hunt, 2nd Life (Upcycling), Debate, Posters
