Swami Putananda
We record with sorrow the passing away of Swami Putananda ji (Kalipada Maharaj), head of Balaram Mandir centre, at Seva Pratishthan, Kolkata, on 9 April at 5.35 pm. He was 92 and had been suffering from liver cancer for the last few months. Initiated by Swami Virajananda ji Maharaj, he joined the Order in 1947 at Deoghar Vidyapith and received sannyasa diksha from Swami Shankarananda ji Maharaj in 1957. He served at Deoghar and Purulia centres as an assistant and Balaram Mandir centre as the head. Affectionate and kindhearted by nature, the swami was meticulous in his routine even at an advanced age. His gentle manners had endeared him to one and all.
