Respected Asha Mashi and Banerjee Family,
Prasad Uncle is an inspiration to me of how to live one's life properly.
Among many other words, the following come to mind in describing Prasad Uncle: Indian, Canadian, engineer, scientist, Hindu, spiritual, ethics, morality, kabiraj, ayurveda.
As a fellow iron-ring holder, He inspired me to always seek more knowledge, not just limited to engineering.
Two stories come to mind at this time.
The first is after Uncle presided over the Toronto funeral of my Eldest Aunt, Boro Ma. When all the rituals of the day were done, in a tone which embodied fatherliness, leadership, understanding, warmth and compassion, He instructed that once exiting the cremation ground, one is not to look back at the grounds. One is to look forward to the future, not back. Not only the instruction, but also so the heavenly tone of the instruction, has served me thus far. I pray that in your time, you are all able to abide by this with strength, courage, resolve and love.
The second story is when Uncle recounted his Forefathers and their practice of medicine, in particular the preparation of gold oxide. Uncle instructed that scientifically speaking, gold is a very stable, unreactive substance, which is quite difficult to oxidise, even with modern equipment and catalysts. He recounted the story of how gold oxide was required to produce a particular medicine. He mentioned in very detailed terms how the gold was prepared and put inside a clay vessel, which was then sealed airtight at the joints, buried in the ground, topped with coal and set ablaze. Everything had a reason - it was actually engineered: the air tight seal was required to build up the necessary pressure at mean sea level to be able to achieve the heat necessary for the oxidation to take place. Furthermore, the contraption was buried to reinforce the clay to withstand the pressure. He mentioned that this would last whole days and nights, with coal being continuously replaced, and a very learned person would know when to stop the procedure. He then mentioned that the lustrous gold turned a distinct pinkish colour when it became oxidised. This story fascinated me.
Another medicine created by his Forefathers was a medicinal oil which when allegedly applied to the nail of the large toe would produce a bitter taste on one's tongue! This story fascinated me, as it illustrated some complex mechanism, which I do not yet understand.
Prasad Uncle presided over countless rituals and moments in our lives from happy marriages, to sad departures from the material world. We fondly remember Him, we lovingly remember you all, and pray for your continued strength and courage over these difficult journeys. May God bless your family.

Today our Bengali community, thousands of people are mourning the passing of the honourable Mr. Prasad Banerjee. Due to the Covid-19's rules & regulations, we friends are unable to attend his funeral and cremation. This feeling of loss will fade away in time, but his memory, love and thoughts will remain in our hearts forever. Om peace! Om peace! Om peace!

Dar Ashadi:
So very sad to know this tragic news! I was grateful to him for many things, especially for agreeing so graciously to perform the ceremonies of Suma's wedding. I knew him well. He and I worked in the same company for many years albeit in different departments. He had a great deal of affection for me and I had so much respect and admiration for what he did for the local Bengali community. He was always so forthcoming with his advice and wisdom. He helped me a great deal in 2003 when I was groping in the dark and desperately needed his advice and guidance. A huge loss indeed, personally and for the Bengali community at large.
Though my dear Prasad_da has taken leave of his earthly existence, in the stillness of the night when the world goes to sleep, I still hear him whisper into my ears:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Please wait

My dearest Labonee Didi, Imone Dada, Aparna Mashi and Samaresh Mesho.
There is a hole in our community that will always be empty. But that gape in our heart will shine so bright, brighter than the sunset on the Ganges, brighter than the moon in the sky.
Prasad Mesho has touched every single person he met. We were all connected to him some way or the other. Whether it was a Puja, a wedding, anaprasan and even when our loved ones crossed over, he made it beautiful and meaningful.
Growing up as a child, I was so infatuated with love, and marriages. I would go to all these Hindu ceremonies and see Asha Mashi and Prasad Mesho. Asha mashi always smiling ear to ear, serving our lord and aiding with the duties of our priest. I used to think, I can’t wait till Prasad Mesho marries me. That’s what I want, I thought to myself. I remember there was a wedding and I gave my Ganesh to be used during the ceremony. As a young girl I enthusiastically said, you have to use this Ganesh at my wedding! “Ok babushona” as they both laughed at my innocence. (I still have that Ganesh)
Every time I have met Prasad Mesho, he has always blessed me. He has always come with open arms and loved my whole heart through. I will forever be indebted to this memory and blessings.
Many of my memories during my time in the hospital are few and blurry- but one I remember every detail was the day Asha mashi and Prasad Mesho came to the ICU to visit me. I remember the exact room I was in (across the Manulife building on university avenue) my bed was faced to the wall and not the window. I was depressed, and didn’t want to see what was out there. It was early Saturday morning and no one had come to visit me yet...Asha mashi and Prasad Mesho came to my room and held my hands and we prayed. As Prasad Mesho read our scripture Asha mashi ran her hands through my hair and grazed my face ever so gently. They walked around my bed blessing me, gave me flowers to offer to God and told me everything would be ok. I knew when I saw him, that everything would be ok. I still have those flowers they gave me, I kept them in a locket along with a picture of Sarada Devi Ma that was tapped to my bed. The locket and it’s blessings are priceless to me, and for that I am so grateful.
As you know, I got married in September of 2020. It was bittersweet. Marrying the love of my life, but also mourning the loss of my brother. When Dada passed away, Prasad Mesho was one of the first people to call me. Actually he was the first. He express to me how sorry he was for my loss, and that dada was no more. Asha mashi and Prasad Mesho recounted memories of dada, when he came to Canada as a young boy, and how important he was to them.
I was so very blessed to have had Devashish Ganguly preform my wedding ceremony on September 5th. I felt a bit crushed that it couldn’t be Mesho. I knew with his age and the drive, it would never happen. We were well into our reception after the wedding, and I had asked the priest if we could sign our marriage license to which he said we’d have to do it another day.... I didn’t question it- I was confused but nevertheless I said ok and went on.
The power of prayer and intention is so pure and so real...
The week after my wedding Devashish told me we’d have to go to Prasad Mesho’s home to officially be married. I still didn’t know what was going on- I thought maybe he needs guidance in paperwork, or this is just how weddings are done. I was so excited that day. Peter and I went and picked out so many different mishti’s, we packed our wedding favours (custom face masks and hand sanitizers) I remember putting my shidhoor on and my red and white bangles (knowing it would make Asha mashi so happy to see me like that) and we went to their apartment. We really enjoyed our evening. Peter really enjoyed the night as he was learning about Hinduism, our customs and they spoke of Christ and how our core beliefs are the same regardless of race and religion. Mesho spoke about his travels, his work, we talked about all the thousands of ceremonies he’s preformed in his lifetime. He spoke of different stories in the Gita. Peter, myself and Devashish were soaking it all in! We felt so blessed to be able to have this evening. Asha mashi pulled out multiple grey binders so full- they would barely close...those binders had years and years of celebrations, Puja’s, funerals. We recounted all the Seva he has done for our community. I will never forget that beautiful evening.
And then, just like that- he asked for my marriage paperwork. He blessed Peter and I and said some scriptures in Sanskrit. He signed the paper and Asha mashi a witness. Alas, my childhood dreams came true. On Thursday September 17th, Prasad Mesho married and blessed us in his home.
I was so blessed to know him on a spiritual level, and as a pillar in our community. I was even more blessed to know Prasad Banerjee as just Prasad Mesho.
To know Prasad Mesho was to know what family meant. He loved from the heart and he loved my whole heart through.
The brightest star has been cast in the sky. A warm, funny, honest man. We love you Prasad Mesho. You have not left us, we feel you all around. We will be reunited again.
To Asha Mashi, we hold you in our hearts and pray that everyday you continue his work and god blesses you abundantly.
Aparna Mashi and Samaresh Mesho, I understand your pain, and feel your loss- may we all honour him by doing our duties to God. Imone dada and Labonee Didi, aside from their own, you are the gems in their life as well and I pray for your strength and resilience during this very difficult time.
With love and prayers,
Kushi and Peter

Last weekend on Jan 2, 2021, we lost my Mesho (uncle = mother's sister's husband) Parbati Prasad Banerjee. He was renowned in the Indian community of Greater Toronto as a cultural icon and pillar. As a Hindu priest he performed the annaprasans, weddings, shraddhas, Durga pujas and many other pujas for thousands of families over 50 years in Toronto. Our communities went to him for spiritual guidance and knowledge of the Hindu faith. He performed so much seva (service) volunteering at hospitals as a multifaith chaplin, giving charity here in the West and back in India and more. He led an incredible and exceptional life and forever is a role model to all of us.
Most of all though, he was such a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and also mentor & guide to so many. He and my Mashi always gave so much unconditional love to everyone in the community as if they are their own family or as if they are their own children. It's not possible to express the grief we are experiencing from this loss in words. We will miss him so much and his deep impact will remain with us forever.
We love you Mesho. I hope you are at peace and you will always be with us in our hearts, guiding us from above.

সতীপ্রসাদ ও ঋতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের বিনীত নিবেদন।
প্রসাদদার মৃত্যুসংবাদ পেয়ে এতো খারাপ লাগছে কি বলবো। প্রসাদদা আমাদের পরিবারের বেশ কয়েকটি ঘটনার সঙ্গে যুক্ত ছিলেন। দুঃখের সময় এবং আনন্দের সময়েও। আমার আর আমার সহধর্মিনী ঋতার শিক্ষকও ছিলেন তিনি। আমার মা মারা যাবার পর প্রসাদদাকে মা'র বাৎসরিক পুজো করতে অনুরোধ করি। প্রসাদদা সেই পুজো করেন আর তারপর গীতা থেকে নিজে কয়েকটি শ্লোক বেছে , পাঠ করে আমাদের পরিবারের সবাইকে তার অর্থও বুঝিয়ে দিয়েছিলেন। মাকে তাঁর শেষ সময়ে দেখতে পাইনি বলে আমার মনে ভীষণ ক্ষোভ ছিল। আমাদের সেই চরম দুঃখের সময় প্রসাদদার গীতা পাঠ আমাদের শোকার্ত মনের ওপর শান্তনার প্রলেপ ছড়িয়ে দিয়েছিল। তার জন্য আমি প্রসাদদার কাছে চিরকৃতজ্ঞ থাকবো। তার কিছুদিন পর প্রসাদদা আমার পুত্র সুজয়ের উপনয়নে কালীবাড়ীর ম্যাকভীন রোড ঠিকানায় পৌরোহিত্য করেন আর সেইসঙ্গে তাকে একজন নতুন ব্রাহ্মণের দায়িত্ব আর কর্তব্যর কথা স্মরণ করে দেন। সুজয় প্রসাদদার উপদেশ হৃদয়ঙ্গম করে কয়েক বছর সকালে পদ্মাসনে বসে গায়েত্রী মন্ত্র পাঠ করেছে। সম্ভবত: ২০০০ সাল নাগাদ প্রসাদদা, প্রফেশনাল কোর্টে নবনির্মিত কালীবাড়িতে দুমাস ধরে প্রতি রবিবার কয়েকজন শিক্ষার্থীকে কালীপুজো পদ্ধতি শিক্ষা দান করেন। আমি আর আমার স্ত্রী ঋতা এই ক্লাসে যোগ দি। সেই শিক্ষালাভ করার পর কালীবাড়িতে বছর খানেক ধরে আমি মাসে দুবার কালীপুজোর পৌরোহিত্য করি আর একবার দুর্গাপুজোয়ও একজন পুরোহিত হিসেবে যোগ দিয়েছিলাম । কালীবাড়িতে সেই সেবার স্মৃতি আমার অত্যন্ত প্রিয়। প্রসাদদার কাছে শিক্ষা না পেলে এই কাজে যুক্ত হবার সাহস আমার হত না। এর কিছুদিন পর আমার মেয়ে সুজাতার বিবাহেও প্রসাদদা পৌরোহিত্য করেন আর বৈবাহিক মন্ত্রগুলির অর্থ উপস্থিত সবাইকে তৎক্ষণাৎ ইংরেজিতে, কখনো তার স্বভাবসিদ্ধ কৌতুকপূর্ণভাবে, বুঝিয়ে দেন। সেই সব কবেকার কথা। আমার মতো কত অন্টারিও অধিবাসী বাঙালি পরিবার প্রসাদদার সান্নিধ্যে এসে উপকার আর শান্তি পেয়েছেন তার বোধ হয় কোনো ইয়ত্তা নেই। প্রসাদদার মতো একজন সহানুভূতিশীল ও নিঃস্বার্থ ব্যাক্তিত্ব আমি খুব কম দেখেছি। প্রসাদদা , আপনাকে আমি চিরকাল পরম শ্রদ্ধাভরে মনে রাখবো। আপনি আমার প্রণাম নেবেন। বিনীত, সতীপ্রসাদ ও ঋতা বন্দোপাধ্যায় , টরন্টো।

In memory Prasad Banerjee
স্বগীয় প্রসাদদার স্মৃতির উদ্দেশ্যে:
" ওঁম্ এ্যমবকং যযামহে সুগন্ধিম্ পুষ্টি বর্ধনম। ঊরবারু কমিব বনধনান মৃত্যো মুক্ষিয়ম অমৃতাত।" শুরু করলাম মৃত্যুনজয় মন্ত্র দিয়ে।
আমি দেবাদিদেব মহাদেবের পূজা করি। তিনি তিন নয়ন বিশিষ্ট। তিনি দেবাদিদেব নিয়ত সুগন্ধ প্রদানক। তিনি সদা পুষ্টি বরধনী। পূর্ন পক্ক ফল যেমন যথাকালে অতি অনায়াসেই বৃন্ত চ্যুত হয়ে ঝরে পরে, সেইমত যথার্থ প্রয়ানক্ষনে শিবপূজারী মৃত্যুকালে অমৃত মোক্ষ লাভ করেন।
সুগন্ধি সদা জীবিত সেবিকা সেবকের ধর্ম। দেবাদিদেব মহাদেবের পূজারিনী- পুজারীর জীবন সদা হয়ে থাকে পুষ্টি বর্ধনী।
স্বর্গীয় শ্রীযুক্ত পার্বতী প্রসাদ ব্যানার্জি। তিনি ছিলেন সমগ্র টরানটো, ডারহামে শ্রেষ্ট ' পিতার সমতুল্য' ও সকলের পরিচিত প্রসাদ দা। তিনি ছিলেন একাধারে ইনজিনিয়ার, কাউন্সিলার, ও পুরোহিত, এবং মিষ্ট ও স্বল্পভাষী মানুষ। ওনার মধ্যে খুব দীপ্তভাব সমপন্ন এক ব্যক্তিত্ব ছিল।ওনার ভাষন মন দিয়ে শোনবার মতো। যেমন ছিলেন পরোপকারী তেমনি ছিলেন উচ্চ সৎ ও সাহসী মনের মানুষ, আর ছিলেন উদ্যম ও কর্মঠ। যাকে একথায় বলা যায় মস্ত বরো মাপের একজন গুনী জ্ঞানী প্রতিভাবান সম্পন্ন ব্যক্তি। যেমন তাঁর বেদ -গীতার জ্ঞান তেমনি সুন্দর ও অসাধারন ভাষন ও ব্যাখা।
প্রসাদদাই টরানটোর পার্শ্ববর্তী অনচলে বাঙালীদের জন্য ' কালী মন্দির ' গড়ে তুলেছেন। তাঁর অকৃত্রিম ভালবাসা ,শ্রদ্ধা এবং আরো কিছু মহত ব্যক্তির উদ্যম অধ্যবসায়ের ফলে আমাদের সকলের ' মা' কালী এসেছেন সুদুর বিদেশ কানাডায়। তিনি সর্ব প্রথম চালু করলেন মায়ের পুজা আরাধনা। সেদিনকার কথা মনেহয় সবারই মনে এক মর্মস্পর্শী অনুভূতি হয়েছিল।এদেশে এমন কোনো ব্যক্তি নেই যে প্রসাদ দাকে চেনে না বা তাঁর কাছ থেকে কোনো সাহায্য পায় নি। যেমন মুক্তহস্তে অর্থ দান করেছেন ,তেমনি মনপ্রাণ দিয়ে লোককে সাহায্য করেছেন। তিনি অম্লান বদনে কাতারে কাতারে ছেলেমেয়েদের বিয়ে দিয়েছেন, পৈতে,শ্রাদ্ধ, পুজো, মুখেভাত সবকিছু শুভানুসটান উনার দ্বারা সুসম্পন্ন হয়েছে। সংগে থাকতেন আশাদি। দুজনেই একে অপরের পরিপূরক। আশাদির অবদানও কিছু কম নয়। সকলের বিপদে আপদে পাশে গিয়ে দাঁরিয়েছেন। সুপরামর্শ দিতেন সকলকে।
এমন কেঊ নেই যারা প্রসাদ দাকে অন্তর থেকে ভক্তি শ্রদ্ধা করেনি, আর করবে নাই বা কেন তিনি যে শিবতূল্য মানুষ যাকে দেখলে মাথা আপনিই নত হয়ে আসে। সর্বদাই মুখে হাঁসি লেগে থাকতো। কখনো বসে থাকতেন না। সর্বদাই কাজ নিয়ে ব্যস্ত থাকতেন।
বহুদিন ধরেই ঊনি নিউমোনিয়াতে ভুগছিলেন। হসপিটাল আর বাড়ী যাতায়াত করছিলেন শেষের চারটে মাস। শরীরের অবস্থা ক্ষীন হয়ে আসলেও মনের খুব জোর ছিল।
খুবই দূরভাগ্য আমাদের আমরা আজ নতুন বছরের নতুন দিনে (২ রা জানুয়ারী২০২১) ওনাকে হারালাম। তিনি সকলের মায়া কাটিয়ে চলে গেলেন অমৃতধামে। আর আমরা আবারও একবার পিতৃহারা হলাম। মৃত্যুকালে প্রসাদ দার বয়স হয়েছিল ৯০ বছর। সুন্দর একটা জীবন উনি কাটিয়ে গেছেন। রেখে গেছেন সুন্দর সাজানো সুখের সংসারে আশাদি, সুপুত্র তাপস,বৌমা কেলি,ও নাতনী ঈশা। আর দিয়ে গেছেন তাঁর অঢেল শুভ আশীর্বাদ। মৃত্যু চিরন্তন সত্য এটা সকলকেই মেনে নিতে হয়। মৃত্যু ভয়ের নয়, উহা পরম শান্তির ও মুক্তির।
"মৃত্যু দিয়ে যে প্রানের মূল্য দিতে হয় সে প্রান অমৃতলোকে মৃত্যু করে জয়।" হরি ওঁম্ তত সৎ।।
In memory of Swagiya Prasaddar:
′′ Om Mbokong Jajamahe Sugandhim Nutrition Vardhanam. Urbaru Komib Bandhanan death is the main nectar. ′′ Started with the mantra of death victory.
I worship the Goddess Mahadev. He has three eyes. He is the God of Gods, the provider of perfume. He is always a nourishment. As the full-ripe fruit falls off without any reason, in the same way, Shiv Pujari gets Amrit Moksha at the time of his death.
Fragrance is the religion of the living nurse. The life of the worshipper of the Devadidev Mahadev-the worshiper always remains nutritionally enlarged.
Late Sri Parvati Prasad Banerjee. He was the entire Toronto, the best ' equivalent to father ' in Durham and everyone's known Prasad da. He was an engineer, councillor, and a priest, and a sweet and short-speaking man. He had a very bright personality. His speech is worth listening carefully. As he was a benefactor, he was a high honest and courageous man, and was enthusiastic and working. To whom it can be said is a very talented, wise and talented person. Just like his knowledge of Veda-Gita, beautiful and wonderful speech and explanation.
Prasaddai has built 'Kali Mandir' for Bengalis in the surrounding areas of Toronto. Due to her genuine love, respect and the effort of some more great people, our 'Maa' Kali has come to Canada far away. He started the first worship of the mother. I think everyone had a touching feeling about that day. There is no one in this country who does not know Prasad da or has not received any help from him. As you have donated money freely, you have helped people with your heart. He has given marriage to children in Qatar in Amlan Badan, Paite, Shraddha, Puja, Mukhevat everything has been completed by him. Ashadi used to stay with me. Both are complementary to each other. The contribution of hope is nothing less. Standing beside everyone in danger. Gave good advice to everyone.
There is no one who did not respect Prasad da with devotion from the heart, and will not, why is he a Shiva-like man, when I see him, my head bows down. Always had a smile on my face. Never would have sat down. Always been busy with work.
He was suffering from pneumonia for a long time. He was travelling to hospital and home for the last four months. Though the condition of the body was slim, the mind was very strong.
It is very unfortunate that we lost him today on the new day of the new year (2rd January 2021) He went to Amrit Dham after extinguishing everyone's affection. And we are fatherless once again. At the time of his death, Prasad da was 90 years old. He has spent a beautiful life. Ashadi, son Tapas, daughter-in-law Kelly, and granddaughter Isha have left in a beautiful decorated happy family. And has given his unlimited blessings. Everyone has to accept that death is the eternal truth. Death is not of fear, it is of ultimate peace and liberation.
′′ The life that has to be valued by death, that life wins by killing the nectar. ′′ Hari Om is so honest.

My sincere condolences for Asha didi, Tapas babu and family.
Death can never take away, a great, father-like person, like Prasad da. He will remain in the hearts of the Bengali people in our society. His legacy remains throughout generations and he will live on in our memories forever.
May his soul find eternal rest. Om shanti, shanti, shanti!

We are heart-broken to know that Prasad-da is no longer with us. Our heart cries out for Prasad-da, an icon of our Bengali community. Prasad-da was a kind and generous person, always with a smile and willing to help. He was a remarkably knowledgeable person on Hinduism, Shastras, who shared his knowledge and wisdom with all of us in the community and explained the intricacies of Hindu religion. He performed numerous social functions (weddings, annaprasans, shraddhas, etc.) and conducted Pujas as a priest in temples/religious organizations. He was an avid gardener, hands-on with construction and of course was an established Professional Engineer.
The Bengali/Indian community suffered a huge loss. May Prasad-da's soul rest in eternal peace. May God give enough strength to Asha-di and her family, to cope with this loss.
