As many of you will know, our dear friend Ishaan Awasthi lost his life last Sunday 19/02/23. He drowned in the river Ganges; his body could not be recovered. While his body now rests somewhere among the holiest place in India, we can not help but think of his single mother who has been left behind.

We would like to raise funds to, at the very least, cover Ishaan's funeral costs. We would like to raise further funds to support Ishaan's mother in any which way she needs. While we are all devastated about Ishaan's passing, I know that his mother is the very first person that he would think of in this situation. He loved, cared and talked of her so often. A true love.

Helping to take care of her is the very least that we can do in memory, and honour, of Ishaan. Please, give generously.

There is so much to say about how much we loved Ishaan, what he meant to us, and the legacy he leaves behind. Here is a link to a Google Docs page where everyone and anyone can write whatever they would like to express about Ishaan.

While this might provide a place of comfort & closure for both the writers & readers of this document, it may also be meaningful for those closest to Ishaan, like his mother & Yoga Vidya Mandiram Family, to read just how much he meant to those who were lucky to spend time in his presence. Love & light. Aum.
