Premila Mistry was born in India in 1948. She married in 1971 then moved to England. A mother of three, Premila found great joy in spending time with her family and loved to cook. Premila had time for everyone and was always ready to help others without expecting anything in return. She was a selfless, caring soul who wished only the best for everyone.

Premila embarked on her spiritual journey when she took the Raja Yoga Meditation course 13 years ago in Loughborough.  She became a regular visitor to the Centre during the day, attending spiritual classes and meditations with unwavering dedication. She never missed World Meditation Hour and the monthly Global Bhattis.

Whenever there was a local public or BK event, Premila never missed it. A special memory we cherish is celebrating her 70th birthday at the Centre with her close relatives. She regularly attended events at Harmony House, Leicester, and was present on 19th January 2025 when Sr Jayanti visited. On that day, Premila quietly helped with the washing up when there were over 400 people for dinner.

Premila loved to help in service and would always volunteer herself, especially for cleaning and kitchen work. Even at 76 years of age, her enthusiasm was unshakable. Whenever we called her to come for service at the Loughborough Centre, she would happily respond "HaJi" and arrive well before time, ready to serve with a smile.

Premila was a simple, polite, and deeply humble soul. She loved silence and was happiest when quietly serving or meditating at the Centre. Her gentle smile, kind and loving presence, and quiet strength will always be remembered and deeply missed by the BK Loughborough spiritual family.

Her funeral took place on Friday, 7th February 2025. Though Premila has moved on, her memory and her legacy of love, service, and simplicity will live on in our hearts.

With love,
In Baba’s yaad,
BK Loughborough Family
