Sister Prasanna Devi, a Catholic hermit nun who was an inspiration for many, especially Hindus, died February 27 in the western Indian state of Gujarat. She would have turned 89 on March 13.The death occurred at 2.33pm at the parish presbytery of St Ann’s Catholic Church in Junagadh, a town in Gujarat where she had been staying for nearly a decade.
The funeral took place on March 1 in Junagadh. Sr Devi had lived four decades among lions, panthers and other wild animals deep inside the Girnar mountain range, the only home for Asiatic lions in India. She had spent time with two religious congregations initially. When she was 22, she joined the Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart, a contemplative order founded by French hermit and martyr, Fr Charles de Foucauld. Sr Devi left without taking vows because the congregation wound up its operations in India in 1961 when she was still in the novitiate.
