RV Mission Secretary.

It is with sadness that we report the illness of Swami Nityananda who was admitted to a nursing home in Kolkata 2 days ago.  Due to the deterioration in his health, the Swami has resigned as Secretary of the RV Mission.  We wish him well for a speedy recovery.

Swami Nityarupananda has been elected as secretary and Samir has congratulated him on behalf of all of us.  It is a great achievement for him as he was brought to the RV Mission as an orphan, maintained by sponsorship and achieved a Masters Degree in philosophy.  He also has been very close to our objective giving us constant support and endless encouragement with his excellent communication skill and warm interaction advising us towards our progress.

He also has been a devoted follower of Swami Nityananda and the philosophy of Sri Ramkrishna and Swami Vivekananda.
