“Sri Swamiji was saddened to hear of the passing of his dear devotee Janardana. Sri Swamiji remembers his graceful and great sevas over the decades. Sri Swamiji prays to God to grant mukti for Janardana. The Celestial message group gratefully remembers the great seva and help rendered by Janardana. Sri Swamiji advised DYC Germany to observe mauna for ten minutes during the next satsang. Sri Guru Datta.”

Dear all, Jaya Guru Datta,

All are warmly invited to join this sacred occasion.

2. We would also like to inform you of the passing of our beloved Pandit Janardhana Johannes Feistner, aged 71. Last Thursday, he performed Puja and Homa in the Satsangha hall in Düsseldorf, where he was discovered last Saturday. For over two decades, Janardhana devotedly conducted pujas and homas in Lelystad (Holisan) during the festival days of St. SGS Benelux—Shivaratri, Sri Swamiji’s birthday, Navaratri, and Datta Jayanti. He was cherished for his friendship and his warm, engaging spirit. We extend our deepest gratitude for his dedicated service and will miss him profoundly.

Sri Swamiji has sent a special message to the DYC Germany, which we share below:

“Sri Swamiji was saddened to hear of the passing of his dear devotee Janardana. Sri Swamiji remembers his graceful and great sevas over the decades. Sri Swamiji prays to God to grant mukti for Janardana. The Celestial message group gratefully remembers the great seva and help rendered by Janardana. Sri Swamiji advised DYC Germany to observe mauna for ten minutes during the next satsang. Sri Guru Datta.”

Best wishes,
Rám and Harrie
