Given his frail health, his passing was not unexpected. Swami had been a monk since 1949 and the president of the Divine Life Society (DLS) since 1963. He was a direct disciple of Swami Sivananda, the founder of DLS. Beyond his position as a world leader, Swami lived his life at a transcendent level of purity, austerity, humility, simplicity and selfless service. He struck a deep spiritual chord in everyone he met and was deemed a living saint by all. He received Hinduism Today's Hindu Rennaissance award as Hindu of the Year in 1999.

In urban settings, especially among the younger generations, the sari is practically extinct. It has been replaced by the salwar-kameez or the western pants suit. The bindi is also fast vanishing in Indian cities, a stunning development of the past decade or so. There was a time when an Indian girl without a bindi was automatically considered a Muslim, Christian or Sikh. Now I find myself asking, "Is she Hindu?" and feeling disgust at the all-too-common sacrilege.
