Our beloved Rathinda returned to The Mother's feet on February 5, 2007, a few days after Joyadi's birth anniversary celebrations.
Some messages from well-wishers are as follows:
Manojda ( Manoj Dasgupta ): Our prayer to the Mother for the peaceful journey of Rathinda's soul. Mother will give you strength to bear this loss.
Dr. B. B. Dutta: The beautiful smile that he always wore on his face.
Chamanlalji and Shipradi: With our dear Rathinda's journey to THE MOTHER the established self-effacing humblest of the humble practice he set up for himself will be poignantly missed. What a bedrock of support he has been to Joyadi's monumental work for the Mother and Master. Without his quiet unobtrusive presence Lakshmi's House would not be so well grown.
Dr. Sankar Sen: He was like a sea without any waves. His biggest quality was the ability to radiate love. Shri Debobrata Basu:The simplicity of a child on one hand and a simple straightforward personality on the other.
