Dr. Rameshvar Prasad Sinha, popularly known as Dr. Ramesh breathed his last on 29th January 2010 at his residence in Ranchi. He was unwell and bed ridden for last three and half years. He was 82. All his family members are followers of Ananda Marga. He was not only an ideal family Margii, he was always a loving and caring father and a renowned paediatrician of eastern India. The President of India honoured him with an award for his services as paediatrician.
Dr. Ramesh was well known in Ananda Marga for his dedication and devotion to Baba and for his sacrifice for His mission. When Baba created the Education, Relief and Welfare Section (ERAWS) in 1963, Baba appointed Dr. Ramesh in charge of it. Baba also gave him the duty of Secretary of Bihar Relief Committee (later called the Ananda Marga Relief Commiittee), and this relief committee under his able guidance did commendable work in providing relief to thousands of people affected by the Bihar drought of 1966-67. Ananda Marga Relief committee is now known as AMURT. He became chairman of AMURT and remained as such throughout his life.
He always actively helped in building up of Anandanagar. He was very active in the Advisory Committee and Working Board (ACB) of the Central Medical Department. All his life he always remained dedicated to His mission. - Ac. Kalyaneshvarananda Avt.
Being a dedicated devotee of Baba, being deeply involved in service projects of the mission and being a medical practitioner, he had many opportunities to be physically close to Baba – particularly during Baba's failing health before His 'Dehatyaga'.
This is an incident of waning days of 1989. Thanks to his regular and sincere sadhana, Dr.Ramesh developed a rare quality of 'intitution'. He was partly elated and partly worried – elated by this achievement and worried about impending downfall.
In December 1989, as per advice of His personal cardiologist Dr.Sunil Sen, Baba was admitted in I.C.U of Woodland Nursing Home, Kolkata. Dr.Ramesh came from Ranchi to see Him. Baba, as usual, was very much pleased to see him. Before Dr.Ramesh could enquire about His health, Baba said: “It is natural that good medical practitioners who are sadhakas also develop intitution, so that they can diagonise and treat the patients in a better way. Isn't it Ramesh?”
Dr.Ramesh nodded and while nodding his eyes got profusely moistened with a feeling of surrender to his Lord. Such is our Master and such was His devotee. Baba kripa Hi Kevalam.
Dedicated unto His lotus feet,
Hamrahi aka S S Goenka
