Nishank captioned the post as, “I have not even accepted what has happened. it still feels like you’ll walk back in to my room any second - i keep longing for that hug and those last words which I didn’t know would be the last. i keep waiting to hear you scold me one more time, to tell me what I should’ve done better, to call my name the way only you could call my name. Doing your asthi visarjan - Watching the last parts of you go away felt like losing you all over again, I carry you in my memories, in my habits, in the silence - i love you papa, i will miss you always before you lived with me & now you live inside me forever.” (sic)

May Rakesh Chandra Swami’s soul rest in peace!
