Please pray for the peace and salvation of her soul. Do watch and remember her work on social media so that her soul, wherever it may be, feels pleased knowing that you still watch and remember her work)."

Mrityu ka dukh nahin aanand Bramhaanand yehi unka sandesh (Because in her life, her work was everything to her, which may grant her salvation in supreme bliss after her death--with this hope, I am sharing this message... Do not grieve death, but experience divine bliss; this was her message)."
