By Munisha on Sun, 30 Nov, 2014 - 15:01Akasasuri, Dayapadma, Jayavajri and Mokshagandhi write with funeral details, from Vajragita’s community, Subhavana, in Amsterdam:

“This notice is about Vajragita but our hearts are also with the friends and family of Navachitta; two deaths so close to one another of two precious people.

Vajragita is ‘laid out’ at home with us in her own bed, in her own room.

I wanted to make sure you all have the poems from Suvarnaprabha’s funeral - so I’ve copied them below.
