OBEISANCE

We bow our head in respect and pay our sincerest homage to the holy souls who gave their life for saving others from the natural disaster that shook the heart of the entire country.  As you all are well aware that on the fateful night of 16^th June, 2013, a disaster took place at Uttarakhand which took many lives and damaged a huge amount of buildings. The Sanyasis and Staffs of the Devbhumi Branches of Bharat Sevashram Sangha at Uttarakhand braved the situation and tried to save every one till death won the war and took them away.  They are not present in this world anymore but they will always remain in the hearts of the survivors of this disaster.  The martyrs were:

1.      Swami Jagdishananda of Kedarnath

2.      Swami Kedarnathananda of Gaurikund

3.      Swami Sarbalokananda of Gaurikund

4.      Sri Saroj Mahali of Kedarnath (Missing)

5.      Sri Pushpaklal of Gaurikund (Missing)

May God bless them and may their soul rest in peace.

The Ashrams at Kedarnath and Gaurikund is completely washed away.  Many of the staffs are hospitalised, many are injured while coming down to Ukhimath by foot, the names are:

1.	Rajen Mahali	2.	Apu Mahata
3.	Ganesh Mahata	4.	Khokan Hansda
5.	Hawa Mahata	6.	Charu Mahata
7.	Shyam Mahali	8.	Prakash Mahata
9.	Tapan Singh

We pray for their fast recovery.  May they overcome their trauma and get back to their normal lifestyle again very soon.
