I just found out today of Gaurav's transition... although I had a feeling, as he didn't respond to my last 2 texts and I was very aware of his ongoing health challenges. He's been one of my closest friends over the past 5 years. He was a brilliant human being with a huge heart and a perfect soul. I considered him a best friend and soulmate; he was family to me. 

I interviewed him a couple of years ago for an educational program I'm working on... He was very candid about his journey because he wanted to help others overcome all the pain and suffering he had experienced in his life. I share it here because I just watched it today in honor of him, and it brought me much peace and inspiration remembering how much Gaurav understood about Life and life. https://vimeo.com/333628022/9…

I am grateful he now has Peace and Freedom. I will continue working on our shared visions for helping humanity evolve in consciousness. I have learned so much from him and our relationship. I am forever grateful God blessed me with Gaurav. I will always remember him and carry him around in my heart. 

• Extremely sad news.My heartfelt condolences to family members. May God give them strength to bear thisgreat loss. May Gaurav's soul rest in heavenly peace. OM SHANTI
