From Prabha we hear that Deva Prasuna died five days before her 75th birthday in Florida.
Prasuna took sannyas in Pune during the seventies. In Rajneeshpuram she worked in various places, including the restaurants and the laundry. She also cooked in the Portland disco.
For many years she was a companion to a woman suffering from Alzheimer’s and also studied caregiving for Alzheimer’s patients.
She is remembered as a kind and generous friend who lived life her way and to the fullest. She will be very much missed.
On 2nd October her friends will celebrate her birthday both in Florida and California.

Namaste Didi-ji Prasuna Goa Aloha, we met in the Paradise of Poona 1 and in so many places since then. Next in the new commune in the sky. You grew the wings to fly high and now the angels are welcoming you. So sweet and fun to know you.

Prasuna, there was never anyone like you. We had so many extended laughs across oceans, mountains and streams….. May you stay forever young! Love,

She was my cleaning Mama on the Ranch; she taught me how to clean two townhouses with a zillion bathrooms and a zillion different types of dirty laundry within 6 hours. I was so impressed by her; her charm, her generosity and her laughter. It was sooooo much fun to be around her; her funnny ways of looking at life, and her expertise…. She taught many things, amongst which I remember one very well, “It is only your mind that makes things look impossible to be done, nothing else. Let your energy take over, and all will be done magically.” How right she was!
Thank you my love for being such a kind, wise and crazy woman. I will always remember you and your laughter, on the porch in the evenings, when we cleaners all had a drink with Sam. Fly high, I am sure you will!
