In loving honour of Paolo Piccoli

Written by Bholenath, Paolo’s son.

My beloved daddy, Paolo, left his body peacefully the 10th of January 2026.

We spent this last month together, intimately close, away from the noise of the superficial things of life.

He took a powerful journey into the truest dimension of his existence. Like the layers of an onion being peeled, I witnessed the Master’s grace acting on him day after day, softening all his hardness, washing away the pain that he could never previously let go of, and opening all the pathways of Grace, until his heart was completely flooded with it. With such loving kindness, Guruji prepared him for his earthly departure in the best way possible.

Dad felt so held by the Master’s presence, he would listen to his audio messages with tears in his eyes, and a profound knowing that a greater power was escorting him to the gates of heaven. Myself, Krishnabai and Amir were with him all along and we gave all our hearts to offer him the company of love and of peace.

So much love surrounded him through his family, colleagues, students and through the many people for whom Dad became so much more than a professor, but a mentor, an example of integrity, of strength and honesty in life. He was a real lion heart, and by the end, this lion heart became so soft and tender, melting in the warm colors of love.

Thank you Dad for all that you have given me, and to all of us who had the privilege to meet you.

Thank you Gurudev for making his journey possible, from the little mind into the vastness of the heart.

Fly high on your journey my old man. I am sure that all the goodness that held you while you were here on earth will only increase as you move into higher regions.

We continue to love you distancelessly and timelessly.
Bholenath and Your Sangha Family
