A few weeks ago, Rob Findlay e-mailed me that Raph had been in a serious car accident, that he was hospitalised in intensive care and that his chances were 50/50. When we spoke a few days later, Rob said that the situation was still bad but he was hoping for more optimistic news soon. Given that, I refrained from publicising the situation here, figuring that I would wait for new developments before alarming everyone. Tonight, though, I received the following message, sent from Raph's e-mail address: > BELOVED AVATAR MEHER BABA KI JAI! > > Dear Brothers and Sisters, > > Beloved Baba’s shining light Raphael Rudd > discarded the broken vessel that he had inhabited > and went to be wrapped in the tender embrace of his > Beloved Heavenly Father. The time of his passing was > 8:54 am PCT. It is so fitting that the Mischievous > Chicken’s most Mischievous Little Hatchling would > choose April Fools Day to depart! May the whole > world be blessed to hear his transcendentally > beautiful songs for the New Life. And let those who > knew him, and Loved him, dance in Love and Light and > Joy at his magnificence, his beauty and his Love. > > Victory Unto Thee > > In The Beloved’s Baba’s Infinite Love and > Compassion, > > Don Douglas
