 na jaayate' mriyate' vaa kadaachin naayam bhuthva bhavithaa na bhooyah / ajo nithyah saasvato'yam puraano na hanyate' hanyamaane' sareere

The soul is never born nor dies at any time.  Soul has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being.  Soul is unborn, eternal, ever existing and primeval. Soul is not slain when the body is slain. – Bhagavat Gita

Arvind Beri was born in Moga, Panjab (India) to Ramnath Beri, freedom fighter for India’s independence, and Chandrakanta Beri.  An exceptional student, he graduated as a gold medalist from Panjab University with a Master of Pharmacy.  As a young man, he was excited to go to the United States for what he thought would be an experience of a lifetime living abroad for a couple of years.  Over forty two years later, with deep roots in the community, Connecticut became his home and friends became his family.   He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Rajni; dear sisters, Sudha, Aruna, Kiran, and Karuna; caring children, Preeti, Ajay and his wife, Amarpreet; sweet grandchildren Shalini, Siaana, and Jayleen; nieces, nephews, and many friends that became family.

May his soul attain moksha - Aatma Ko Moksha Prapt Ho

Om Shanti
