Dr. Navaratnam  Ayya Avargal today in the early morning at 2.30 am died in his sleep in his hospital bed with full &#8216;Thiru Neeru&#8217; (sacred ash) on his forehead and a small framed picture of Lord Siva, Yogaswami and Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami in his folded hands. He was hospitalized for the last few weeks after suffering a heart attack, and also had other medical conditions. He was the senior-most devotee and direct disciple of Yogaswamigal known to us. He had the blessings of Yogaswami from an early age. His passing is a huge loss for the entire Yogaswami community in Australia and throughout the Jaffna communities across the world. The last rites will take place on Sunday, December 10, 1996.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HPI MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, December 7, 2006: N.
