1. Prayers for Shri Kishorebhai Atit’s soul

It saddens us to inform that our very dear Shri Kishorebhai Atit , a long time Chinmaya Mission Houston member, passed away on Wednesday May 20, 2020. Shri Kishorebhai and his family have been very active and ardent sevakas of  CMH for many years.

Let us all, his Chinmaya family, pray for the peace of his soul. May God give strength to the family to bear this loss. Om Shanti!
