[INDOLOGY] Mark Dyczkowski's Passing

[Harry Spier]

Dear everyone,

I am deeply saddened by this news. Mark "Sadashaya" Dyczkowski was the
central figure in the creation of the Muktabodha searchable
e-text library.   Until his retirement in 2018 he chose all the texts,
chose and trained the transcribers, and supervised the transcriptions. The
size, focus and scope of the library were largely a result of his efforts
in Varanasi.

Anyone who has met Mark knows he had a larger than life personality. May
the Goddess, to whom he was devoted, guide him on the next part of his
journey.

Harry Spier
