Dearest Mama Swami, Words can not describe the loss I feel in my heart. You were such an integral part of my early life in Sri Lanka. You would look after me at the nursery everyday until mama came back from work. You continued to shower me with unconditional love as I grew up both in Sri Lanka and even with your visits to Canada. You always stayed at our place and I was truly blessed because that gave me precious one on one interactions that is etched in my heart. Even as a young adult, when my faith faltered you counselled me thru it and made me understand that religion does not need to fit a single mold. You embodied so perfectly what a man of faith is supposed to be and brought everyone that had the presence of knowing you such honour. Although God has dimmed your light from us, I am sure you are shining bright in heaven. Till we meet again. I love you!
