Swami Ramananda, who has been a part of the Sidhabari ashram for many years, passed away peacefully on August 2, 2015. He was one of the founding members of Chinmaya Mission, Hubli. On Pujya Gurudev’s request, he moved to Sidhabari with his wife in the mid-eighties and served for more than two decades as the manager and then CEO of the ashram. He received sannyasa diksha in 2005 and continued to lead a quiet and retired life in Sidhabari. He will be remembered for his gentle ways and calm demeanour, his selfless service and deep devotion.
