Poojya Dr. Appa Athavale

           We are sorry to learn of the sad demise of Poojya Dr.Appa Athavale of Pune, who was a great devotee of Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj. His service in the development   of the Hospital run by the  Gondavale Mandir, and    many works of the Sri Brahmachaithanya Samsthan may be considered invaluable.
 Sri Maharaj has taken him away from us.
