Another great soul has left us

Our friend and gurubai, Mary Kretzmann, left her body this afternoon.

Similar to when Krishna passed away, it’s only been in the last few weeks that we understood just how ill Mary was. After being in a care facility and the hospital, she returned to the Village today…only to make her transition shortly after arriving at her home.

There will be many words written about Mary — she led the Ananda Prayer Ministry for many, many years; she was a wonderful mother and grandmother; she had a beautiful voice and a great sense of humor — but for now, all I can say is, “Go with love, dear friend.” 🙏

Risen in freedom

A great soul and dear friend just made her transition this evening.

Go with all our love, dear Seva.

I see your soul soaring in light, and Master and Swamiji welcoming you with great love and joy.

But we will miss you.
