Ramesh S. Balsekar May 25, 1917 - September 27, 2009

Forwarding a message from Wayne, Advaita Fellowship newsletter

 

Dear Friends,

 

It is with the heaviest of hearts I write to tell you of the passing of our

beloved Ramesh this morning at 9AM in his home in Bombay.

 

Ramesh was truly an extraordinary being. His life as a successful banker, author

and spiritual teacher directly enriched the lives of tens of thousands of

people.

 

Having met Ramesh was one of the defining moments of my life, as I am certain it

was for many of you reading this note. His generous spirit, open, loving

presence and spiritual Understanding combined to make him one of the truly great

Sages of the 20th century. We are truly blessed to have known him...be it " in

person " or through his Teaching.

 

Ramesh lives on. Though his body will this afternoon return to the elements, his

spirit lives on in his books and in the hearts of all of us who have known him

and loved him..

 

Twenty-two years ago Ramesh came into my life. Today his body leaves it. To have

been able to walk beside him for all this time and to have been able to bow at

his feet has been for me the greatest of life's blessings.I shall miss not being

able to sit with Ramesh, to watch a cricket match together or to share some

chocolate or to laugh at some silly joke he reads from the newspaper. It is not

the greatness of the man I will miss most...his greatness remains undiminished

by his death...it is the little things, the human things..

 

Many of you will share with me the exquisite human pain of the loss of a beloved

one. If you take a moment to quietly look at it you may see in the pain the

wonder of Life itself. If so, it will truly be the Grace of The Guru.

 

With much love,

 

Wayne

Oh my goodness... thanks for the info, Hur.

 

Any clue as to what he 'died of'?

P: This is a good point in time to point out that

Ramesh's finest book is " Pointers of Nisargadatta

Maharaj " . Ramesh had a flawless understanding of

his master's teachings, and the book is free of

the contradictions one finds in books that are

based on questions and answers made and given

to seekers at different levels of the search.

 

If you haven't read it, this is a good point

to do it, if you are so moved.

I don't know but at the previous Ramesh update he was recovering from pneumonia.
